Re: Image profile !
You can make one with a program like Powerpoint or Word and save multiple frames and put them together using something like this. Or you can use someone else's (if they allow you to) by saving it and uploading it as a .gif file on your "My Stuff" page.
Check out this wiki section about animated user icons.

Re: Image profile !
It's an animated GIF file, which is basically lots of pictures played really fast. Many programs can make animated GIFs; I use PhotoScape, but GIMP can also make animated GIFs, and there's also some online sites that do it. I really need to find something else, PhotoScape sucks >_>
@Steve: It would be polite to ask if you're allowed to use someone else's, but there's nothing to stop you doing so if they say "no".

I did mention that you shouldn't use a picture if you're not allowed to. I hope he/she understands about plagiarism.

No, but you are allowed to, is what I'm saying. It wouldn't be very nice to use it if someone says they don't want you to, but they can't do anything about it if you do.

Not necessarily true. Obviously, they can't physically do anything themselves, but it could potentially be a violation of a law regarding plagiarism.

You still don't understand what I mean 
What you're saying is that you can only copy someone's icon if you have their permission. But that's not true. If I were to download your icon now without your permission, and use it as mine, there'd be nothing wrong with that. Well okay it wouldn't be very friendly, but it's not breaking any rules.
It's not like anyone's gonna sue an eleven year old for using their material as a tiny little icon on a kid's website anyway though

It's good to be careful and aware of the rules anyways.

Um, yeah, it is. Not that that was related to my post in any way...
