First click on My Activity on the top. Then click Edit my Preferences. Next you click Upload photo or avatar under your Yahoo name. Then click Customize Avatar.

Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. You can also use your Facebook or Twitter avatar. For an animated gif you should make it your Twitter avatar first.

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.
If you want to use your Facebook or Twitter avatar be sure to link the sites in the Profile options.
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/

STEP 3.
To create a cartoon avatar first go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create one.

STEP 4.
Click on the default avatar in Y!A and select "edit my preferences".

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.

All you need to do is upload a photograph (click on it a few times) and voila! Your face has entered the virtual world. No manuals to digest and no slaving away for hours.

It's so quick and easy to make your own avatar that even your grandma could do it – and it will make her look ten years younger (her avatar that is, we're not miracle workers)!
