My avatar's too big?

[RawTruth]

Help!

I know the answer to this must be somewhere int he forum, but I'm getting lost hunting through so many previous posts.

I have my avatar in .jpg format, but I don't know how to reduce it to the correct size. I realize this can probably be done in my photo editing software, but it's very rudimentary and I'm clueless as to how to do it.

Can someone guide me through?

Thanks so much.

If you have Microsoft Windows, you can open the picture in the Paint program.

From the top toolbar, click image, from the drop-down menu, click stretch/skew.

Type in what percentage to stretch it down both horizontally and vertically (use the same number in both boxes) and click OK.

If it's still not right, click undo and try different numbers until you get a good size. Then save the picture with a new name. (If you just click 'save,' you'll overwrite your original picture and it will be lost and replaced by the smaller one.)

I hope that helps!

And if that doesn't work,
you can always post your picture in this thread or mail your picture to me (original size, .jpg format) to jschoors@gmail.com and I'll be happy to change it for you to the correct size...

Take care,
