Hello There. I am old and therefore, pathetic. My Wife explained PowerPoint to me five times and I still don't get it. I can't figure out the difference between Instagram and Tik Tok. I mean, aren't they pretty much the same thing?
I was on Twitter twice. Still don't get it.
Anyway, I could REALLY use some advice here. Simple I know, but hey, I'm just a simple guy. Who you know, likes diapers and baby stuff. Completely normal.
How DOES one create, is that the right word, an Avatar? Apparently, it is required around these parts. Having only joined a week ago, I really need to know this stuff. Still learning about everything. So, while the film, "Avatar" was a crushing bore of horrible length and I would rather be spanked by Mommy for refusing to view it ever again.....How does one do an avatar? If I could get some VERY, SIMPLE, BASIC, LIKE YOU WOULD EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER instructions, um, yeah. That would be great, mmmk? Thanks.
I have met so many wonderful people here. This place ROCKS!
You came to the right place my friend. I have quite a bit of experience explaining things to the "technologically impaired"
Here, I've included pictures, for you to see what I'm doing.
First, scroll up (that is, move up, go up) to the very top of where you are right now. It should look something similar to this:
Now, click (select) the little image right where I've circled for you in red. When you do, it will look something like this:
Next, all you need to do is click (select) the big image I've circled in red. For you, it will be a great big "S". Once you click (select) the big "S", it will look something like this :
Once you see this little menu, all you need to do is click (select) the button I've drawn a red arrow to. When you do this, it might look different for you than I've pictured in this next picture:
Now, what you will do is pick a picture that you have on your phone or computer (whichever you are using at the moment). For me, on my phone, this is what I did:
Once you pick a picture you like (make it a fun one!), select it and that should be it. I chose the little guy I circled in red above. I clicked him and then selected him, and when that was all done, this is what I saw:
Now just click (select) the "okay" button I've pointed to with a red arrow. After that's done, admire your brand new avatar (profile picture, a picture of you, or a pet, or of a diaper, anything, that is kinda a face to what your saying online; it represents you, makes you memorable)
That should be all
And by the way, TikTok is just short, moslty funny videos, and is easier to use. Instagram is mostly more serious videos, I believe. Twitter is simply posting short messages to a publicly visible place, similar to this website. And I don't like PowerPoint, never will.
Avatar was a long film, wasn't it?
Thank you for the question, let me know if I didn't explain something simply enough, or if you have any more questions. Good luck!
