Creating your own Minecraft Avatar Skin
Now that you know how to change your skin, you can create your own using one of many tools available to do so.
The one I used was SkinEdit available from here:

It's very easy to use and you can create whatever you'd like - takes a few tries to get it perfect but very fun.

Changing you Minecraft Avatar Skin
There is a very easy way to change your Minecraft Avatar skin from the default
to something like Bosto's favorite:
To change you skin,
1) find the skin you would like from one of the many Minecraft Skin sites such as http://www.minecraftskins.com/
2) download the skin .png file to your computer and save it somewhere that you can easily find it
3) in your web browser, go to http://minecraft.net and log in and click on the Profile link
5) on the Profile Page, go to the Change Your Skin section. Ignore the "Start by Downloading your reference skin and editting it" part and just go straight to following:
Click on Browse... and when the file selector dialog opens, select the .png file you already downloaded to your machine from a Minecraft Skin site
6) The image file name will now appear in the text box next to the Browse... button. Now to activate it, click on the "Upload image" button. Your new skin is now in place.
7) if you are using the downloaded version of minecraft (as opposed to a web client), close it and open it again. Go to Inventory and you will see what you look like with your new skin! Note that you can also look at yourself in third person by pressing F5 but unfortunately you can only see your back and sides!

Tip of the Week - Improving Performance on your Computer
If you are finding your minecraft game is "laggy" (ie slow to refresh, jerky, etc) you may be able to improve the performance by changing the Rendering Distance to "Short"
Just start up the game and then click the Options button. From there, click on Video Settings and then Rendering Distance. Experiment with it set to Short or Normal and see if the performance improves.
