I'm very computer-inept, but can someone help me create an avatar? I don't even know how to shrink an image to the correct specifications.

Here's some step by step instructions that I wrote with WP specifically in mind.

How to Adjust any Image to be an Avatar for Forums

It uses the Gimp which is freely available software.

you can shrink it in paint but it cuts off parts of the picture in order to make it smaller

other than that i'm no computer wiz

Why would you use paint if you can get the Gimp for free?
