    You have hidden your Pulse profile. Until you un-hide it, your avatar will remain the default (exclamation point) avatar.

    Click "My Activity" at top of page

    Select "Edit My Preferences"

    Click "Update photo or avatar"

    Follow instructions to select your photo/avatar

    Click "Submit" on bottom of original page when done

    To make a carton avatar:

    http://avatar.yahoo.com/

    Make sure your Pulse profile is not hidden.
