Thanks to Emma Hoggard for these.


 * [|Portrait Avatar Maker]
 * [|BuiLD youR WiLD SeLF]: Have lots of fun. For Juniors on up.
 * [|DoppelMe]: create a graphical likeness of yourself, your friends, family or any group of people for use as an avatar in forums, instant messenger, blogs and almost anywhere else on the web.
 * [|Gizmoz:] Create your own animated avatar
 * [|Blabberize:]Blabbers can be incorporated into wiki and blogs with a useful purpose. Unfortunately there is one word that I don't particular want to encourage with primary aged students, in the last part of the wizard. While it would prevent me using this as a student creating tool, I do think it has some merit as a teacher's tool.[[image:rellco:Yahoo_Avatar.jpg width="130" height="192" align="right" caption="Yahoo_Avatar.jpg"]]


 * [|Yahoo Avatars:] - Sign Up, Log In and Create! Get Animated - Change Your Style - Face the World. You used to be able to export your avatar using the embed code generated on the site. This no longer seems to be an option. I now use a screen dump (courtesy of the PrtSc key on your keyboard) and paste it into MS Paint. There I can crop it and save it to my computer as a jpg file type.


 * [|Voki]- Create Your Own Speaking Avatar. Uses a lot of memory
 * [|Meez] - Children can use this site to create the person they want to be - or not.
 * Face Your Manga: Enjoy yourself by discovering unlimited combinations to realize your virtual alter‐ego!
 * [|Buscar]- Boys generally like this one.

Thank to Rellco for these.
