How do you all find images that are small enough to use? I want to personalize my avatar but all of the images I have are several times the maximum size.
I crop and resize mine and save them in JPEG format. I use the version of MS Paint that came with Windows 7.
GIMP also works and you can even do some basic image editing (photoshopping) with it, which makes for more unique avatars. The downside is that it's much more difficult to get the image down to a suitable file size even if you save it as a JPEG.
