Avatars I've noticed that some people have lovely lovely avatars... special Perplexian stylee.
Where can I get me one of those?

Write an article for the sentinel. You have to send a pic of yourself and their artist (french apparently) will draw one.

They're really nice, aren't they? Well anyone can get one, all you have to do is write an article for the View From Earth column in the perplex city sentinel, and send a picture, then they draw one for you. good luck!

Yeah, honestly the only reason I haven't written an article of View from Earth is because, if it got accepted, I would kind of have to change my avatar. I just don't think I can part ways with Stewie.

Is it just me or is Stewie going faster than he used to?
You dont *have* to use your new picture as your avatar, I havent, but I'm afraid thats a mix of lack of access to my webspace atm rather than merely an attachment to Oracle. Those pesky Sentinel webmasters happen to make the pictures just 20 pixels too big to be allowed on these here forums straight.
The 5 seconds of fame is still quite fun though :)
rach =)

Ah, but there is a cunning way around that problem. The Perplex City site automatically rescales your pictures so they fit (while keeping the sides in the same ratio). Put it up on there, then link to that one, should work great!

Ok. So I've got myself into the Sentinel. Got a groovy portrait.
How do I get the blessed thing from the sentinel website onto here?

I think you will need to save the picture to your PC, then put it on the web, then put the URL for that into your profile.
Least that's how I did mine..
