You may not be able to do it on an iPod.

Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. You can also use your Facebook or Twitter avatar.

STEP 1.
In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo Profile visible. That is done here:
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/
There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on. The name can be anything you want.

STEP 2.
To create a cartoon avatar first go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create one.

STEP 3.
Click on the default avatar in Y!A and select "edit my preferences".
[shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about ]
Click on "update photo or avatar" and a small window will open.
You can select the cartoon, Facebook, or Twitter avatar or upload your own photo.
After clicking "use selected photo" be sure to click "submit".
The same photo will appear in the Yahoo Profile.

You can also select the photo in the Yahoo Profile instead.

Click on your name, click "Edit My Preferences", click "Update photo or avatar". You'll need a JPG, JPEG, or PNG file. Or you could create an avatar at avatars.yahoo.com. I suggest using a computer for this.

Has to be done from a computer now so it seems. For a pic or avatar.See the yahoo help here.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/pulse/p… look under public photo and follow the instructions and job done. Make an avatar at http://avatars.yahoo.com Make sure your pulse is not set to private as that stops it from appearing,
