and how do you put in a custom avatar? I'd like to use the picture from my "profile pic"
Knowing the original meaning of each of the kanji in 原子力 will probably lead you nowhere.

原 = field
子 = person
力 = power

Better to think of it as "原子" + "力". 原子 is a word meaning 'atom'. This way, it should all make sense.

To have a custom avatar, you need to have made something like 25 posts.
