embed form in page in Drupal

Pro Drupal Development has a chapter on drupal Form. It has an example to build a form in module.

If you just want to embed the form in a page, you can simply just use
print drupal_get_form('your_form_name');

and select input format to be php. See my example here.

avatar related modules in drupal

There are several avatar related modules in drupal.
Avatar Blocks
Latest Members,
Avatar Gallery,
User Display

Initially I used Avatar gallery, then switched to avatar blocks on my site, which seems to be a better solution.
It uses ImageCache module to scale your user avatars to a consistent size and shape. ImageCache version 2 is required, which in turn requires PHP5.
