Are you using My Avatar Editor on your site?
Are you using My Avatar Editor on your site? If so, let me know. I plan to have a links section showing off how others are My Avatar Editor on their own sites. Post your link in the comments section below and I'll add it to http://www.myavatareditor.com/ to help spread the word.

My Avatar Editor SWF Files Posted
I've pretty much wrapped up the Developers page and have posted the latest My Avatar Editor SWF files in the Download section of the site. These SWF files are what you would need to put My Avatar Editor on your own personal web page should you want to use it there. Included in the developers page are APIs and samples of how you can interact with the SWF files with additional scripting, either via JavaScript or with another wrapper SWF using ActionScript.
JS Example | AS Example.
The full source files have not yet been posted. However, it's mostly a matter of me gathering the files together and writing up a README, etc. That could possibly happen as early as tonight, but more likely sometime tomorrow. I'll create a new blog post when that happens.

Progress Update
Today has been a fairly productive day. I've spent a lot of it writing and finishing up APIs for use by developers. This means the source will be available soon.
I think that I should point out, that even though I am spending a lot of time "cleaning" and making the source "better", given the way this project matured, many things are still just plain ugly and hacky, and by no means in line with best practices. What's more is, I'm not changing that. It works now, so why fix it if it ain't broke? Sure, I am adding and renaming some things to make it easier to use, but I'm not touching some of the less impressive underlying architecture. It's just not worth it.
As for writing, I think I have the Guide Section pretty much done. Currently I'm working on the Developers Section. As with the guide, I may update that gradually as its written. Once finalized, the source will be uploaded google code and people can get started using it on their own sites.

MyAvatarEditor.com Live
Last night I pushed a working copy of MyAvatarEditor.com live to the web. There is still a bit of work to do, especially regarding the guide and developers pages. That will be filled with time. Most importantly is that with the site live, and having the editor off the temporary beta page, avatar URLs will work for opening avatars and sharing them with your friends.
Additionally I've added a new page under a directory called "show" which will just show the character, full screen in the browser, without the editor interface. Example:
http://www.myavatareditor.com/show/?avatar=53a200520061006e0064006f006d00000000000000004a7940fb5c27c2428998b0c044a08080023ab867284014007ce502260d042450004d004100450000000000000000000000000000
You may notice that depending on the shape of your browser window, the character will be seen either in full or just as a head. Clicking on the My Avatar Editor logo will open that character in the editor.
I haven't yet decided if this page will be integrated into the editor or not, or even how useful it is, but it's there for anyone who's interested.
