I’ve been thinking of adding an image or Avatar but find that while I know enough to operate a computer I fail at this task. I can make an image that fits the requirements for an Avatar but it appears that I need a place to download it from online, is that true? Is there no simple adding avatar/image for dummies? I've used the search tools here but so far no joy.

True. You have to upload it to some site and post a link to that location to place in your "My Controls" area of the forums.
