how to set your bot's buddy image / icon

Several people have send emails asking for how to set the IM Bot's 'buddy image' (the image that shows up in your buddy list).

Since JBuddy SDK does not currently support buddy images, you need to sign on with the native IM client and set you image there. Once it's set, you can sign off the native IM client and sign back on with the JBuddy Bot tools. Your buddy icon should be stored by the IM network and viewable by your bot's buddies.
