I give up. I understand how to get to the point where I can add a picture of my car but when I do it I get a message that maximum pixels are 150x150. I do not know how to resize my pictures. If someone can help I would appreciate it.

I use ArcSoft PhotoStudio. Don't know why, it's my default, and I'm not computer literate enough to spend a lot of time changing or deciding on something else. Anyway, I just open the pic I want to resize, click on the "edit" drop-down, and then select "Image size". Then I type in the 150 into the largest dimension (width or height), then save it as a .jpeg file. Done!

Not sure what image software you have, but just paly around, it's actually pretty easy.

This a nice free little program that works great for pic resizing.

I used Irfanview to create my avatar. Actually, it's a picture of my torch red coupe with a little image effects.
