Using your Yahoo Avatars on other webpages !

I ased this question a while ago on Yahoo Answers.

Can I put my Yahoo avatar on my personal web page?

At the time (8 months ago) I didn’t really get any answers, Recently while browsing through blog explosion, I found a google (blogger) entry where someone had done just that !

It’s really pretty easy, just create an ‘image’ tag in HTML with the following line

http://lookup.avatars.yahoo.com/wimages?yid={YahooID}
&size=large&type=jpg

and viola, your Avatar shows up in ‘near real’ time however you have ‘dressed it up’. Don’t forget to replace {YahooID} with your Yahoo ID for it to work.

For just the ’small head version’ use

http://lookup.avatars.yahoo.com/wimages?yid={YahooID}&size=
medium&type=jpg

It works great !

Enjoy !
