Avatar help?

So I finally figured out how to load my pictures off of Kodak Easyshare and onto photobucket. Problem is the files are too large and when I make the pic smaller so that it fits the parameters, the pic is microscopic. Is there anyway of avoiding this? Am I doing something wrong?

Here's an easy way to resize pics.

Open the pic in Microsoft Paint.
Go to Image Attributes, and that will show you the current size.
If it's too large, go to Image -> Stretch/Skew.
For Stretch Horizontal and Vertical, change the % - perhaps try 50%
Then check with Image Attributes to see the new size.
Repeat as necessary until it's the desired size, then save (under new file name, if you want to keep the original).

Thank you soooo much Fetqueen!! I looked at that a few times earlier today, but couldn't figure out that I needed to click on the stretch/skew one. Hopefully, I'll get a decent avi up in this lifetime!!:rolleyes: :lol:
