How to create WeeMees as Skype avatars?

A very simple and inexpensive type of avatar you can create is called a WeeMee.
When you click the Create My Avatar button, you are instantly whisked away to an avatar construction factory.
You can try your hand at building a WeeMee by following these steps:

1. Click the Build Your WeeMee Now! button. You are presented with a WeeMee without features and holding a sign saying Male/Female.
2. Click the gender you want. All the options for the WeeMee of that gender appear. Depending on the options you select, you may have some animations in your avatar. (It’s hard to make out in black and white here, but the boat is to the left, chugging down the waterway.)

You have a wide range of options for your WeeMee, including hair styles, fashions and interests. Keep exploring the offerings until you’re done creating your WeeMee; then, click Save and Buy My WeeMee.
