Hey Galen.
Here's a wonderful site for avatars; it's where I got mine [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] .
As to the Green Dragon, you don't have to put a profile or first post there, only in the actual RPGs. Basically, it's a place to practice interacting with other characters. A good first post would describe your character, give a hint of his/her past, and approach someone in the common room. Actually, at the moment, one of my characters in the Inn isn't doing anything. She's a dark-haired g.irl seated by the bar alone, and if you like, your char can approach her. But do come in, we don't bite. Hard. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Oh, and as regards to typos: Look at the top of your post. There's a little icon at the far right that looks like a rectangle and a hammer. Click on that, and you can go back and edit your post and get rid of any grammatical or spelling errors. Or delete the whole thing, if you need to.
