Showing your users how to create avatars

If you administer a forum, for whatever purpose. You probably get a lot of users asking you how to add an avatar to your site. You might even get the occasional e-mail with an attached photo saying "please help me make this into an avatar."

Lifehacker has an article on a website that makes it easy for inexperienced users to create their own avatar photos. The application is called MyPictr.

If you have a portal page that enters your forum, you can have a "Getting Started" tutorial area that includes a link to this application for users just getting into the game.
