[quote author="T!m"]I have a jpg on my computer. How do I get it to be my avatar? It isn't on a web page anywhere, so I don't have a "http" URL for it.[/quote]
You will need to get that pic on the web. I use photobucket. Go to photobucket, create an account, and upload the pic. The http link it offers you will be the one you want to use.
HTH & nice to see you here.
