Avatars: Topic 2

What’s an avatar? An avatar is a pictorial representation of you. It can look somewhat like you, but in comic form, or it might be a picture of something that represents you or your likes. 
Why use an avatar? On the internet, you can use an avatar to create an online personality while still protecting your privacy.

    In your post (titled Avatars: Topic 2), write about your avatar. 
    • Tell which site you used to create your avatar,
