It depends on what you want it to do. You can create an image in any art program, including microsoft paint. And then if you want to animate it go to unfreeze.com and download the free software. Unfreeze is extremely easy to use.
can you use a clipart image form microsoft word or something like that? Or is that not allowe due to copyright issues? I found a really cute one I want to use!

You can use a clipart image from ms word. Most free images will be okay to use as an avatar.
I have looked and looked for a animated humming bird under 6kb and boy let me tell you its not easy. I found one I loved and it was like 8 something. I finally got one, but i am going to continue to look.

You can take the 8 KB gif you liked and upload it here...

You'll be able to edit it and get it down below 6K. To make gifs smaller you can use smart crop, despeckle, reduce color and resize. You can also add a transparency to make the white background disappear.
Seeing how this avatar works. I would like it to say volleyball mom. Does anyone know how to add this?

Make sure you're saving the image as a GIF.

How exactly can you make a gif image under 6kB. I've resized the image but then it stops moving. Any tips?
