Step3: Save your file and upload the Avatar. You have to wear them for it to work. And even then you can not see the nickname and chat yourself, only others can!.

If you did it correct it should look like this, Nickname above Av, Chat above Av, Nick & Chat. (Avatars by Elinor van Oostrom, click here to Visit Orin's Avatar Museum)
