Technology, need Help with Avatar

[Bufford]

I've tried posting an Avatar to get rid of that ugly question mark. Long ago I simply gave up on pictures, so I tried to do a simple text, still no go. In any case I have no clue how to do this. I tried clicking on custom, and then tried to upload a small quote from 'my documents' and then get an invalid file message.
Here is what I am running. Windows 10 on a laptop computer. I used Microsoft word as the typewriter program. I know very little about computers and nothing when it comes to those new phones.

If you send me what you would like there, I will try to take care of it for you...either PM me, post here or you can email me at lcrpff@yahoo.com

Lets do this. Thanks, The simplest way for me would be to cut and paste this into the body of this post;

Ok, before I finalize anything - is this where you wanted an avatar? Under your name.....I picked a picture out by random, if you have one for me to use I can easily change it.....I can't just put text in there unless I use a blank image....

Thanks,
Plain text would be better.

hmmmm...black background would be better? Or leave it as-is?

 

[Bufford]

A black back ground would give it better contrast for sure.
I must say that the Dinosaur was funny, some would say that it describes me at times in the mornings. However, what remains of my dental work is of no comparison.
