Could someone explain to me how to create an avatar from a digital photo? I'd like to be able to use some of my own pics for my forum avatar. Thanks in advance!

Ok save the photo to C:/myducoments/mypictures or some wheere where youll know where it is.
go to http://picasa.google.com/
download picassa Once installed you can use the export tool to resize the image (600 pixles is what you want)

It's pretty straight forword.

Thanks to all who replied! BTW, a couple of those comments made me laugh. Maybe I'll keep the avatar afterall, but at least now I know what I'm doing.

I saw you avatar in an ad for a condo complex in Toronto. That ad wouldn't fly in the States. Looks like she's getting ready to get in a vette.
