Hey peoples!!!

I'm wanting to get a photo of me or a pic up next to my name.
Problem is all my shots seem to be above the 6kb max and Female First doesn't upload them Sad

Other people have some very good shots of themselves and seem far more complicated then mine. How is this done? I try to printshop the pictures and they end up with even more pixels than before.

What do I do?

Sad

ImageShack and Photobucket are websites to post photos on.

This is how I put a photo up next to my posts:
I used Paint Shop Pro (any paint or photo program will do)
First I made a new Image of 83x83pixels. Then I got the photo I wanted and loaded that up in it's own window in PSP. I reduced the image so the part I wanted to use (The head) was small enough to fit in the "new image" window.
After that I copied the resized photo and pasted it into the 83x83pixel new image window as a new layer. Then I moved it around until I got the part of the photo I wanted lined up and merged the layers.
With my new photo the correct size, I saved it to the desktop. I went back into "Profile" on here (FF). I told it where the image was and it uploaded it for me. Very Happy

-Alternattively you can just crop the photo you want and resize it. Then save and upload that image.
