Did you see?!? I have an avatar! rainbows sent one of her photos to Goha, who sized it right, and created a few of her own just for me, so I'll have spares, then they sent it to me and walked me through posting it. 
I really had little to do with it but I'm still amazed I didn't manage to muck it all up somehow. Sorry I'm done crowing now.
