You can export your avatar and use it on web pages and blogs. When you update it on the Yahoo! Avatars site, your avatar will automatically update on your own site too.

On the Export Your Avatar page, use the pull-down menus to select how you want to export your avatar.

With the Size menu, you can choose your full avatar or just the face. For both sizes, you can select a .jpg or .png image with the Format menu. The .jpg format is very common and can be used on any web page or browser. The .png format is not quite as common.

The Generate menu lets you select what type of code to get for your avatar. Choosing "HTML" will give you the complete code to copy and paste into your own web page. Choosing "URL" will give you only a basic image link for your avatar.

After you've selected these options, click the "Select All" button, and copy the code to your computer's clipboard. Then you can paste the code into your web page or blog.
