How to Make Your Own Yahoo Avatar

• Answer:

  Avatars are a personalization feature offered in various Yahoo! Internet programs, most notably Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! Answers. You can access the avatar interface to create or edit a customized character image that acts as a form of identification and self-expression. Although avatars are typically displayed in portrait view on Yahoo! programs, you can design your character's appearance from head to toe. Avatars are free to create and can be altered at any time, but a Yahoo! account is necessary to take advantage of this feature.
