Creative Commons Search http://search.creativecommons.org
The creative commons allows you to search Google Images and Flickr and also has a music search tool. Make sure at the top of the page only the modify, adapt, or build upon is checked. When you find an image or sound you are going to use make sure to copy the url for the image and put it on your resources page or save it in your delicious account.
Avatar Creators
An avatar is your online representation of who you are. Good rules of thumb - Never use your entire first and last name - it is much better to use just your first name and some numbers. Also, never use a real image of yourself that someone could identify you from.
