    How do I format an atavar?

    I want this (hope this link works) :
    as my atavar, along with a subtext "The Hills! The Hills!"
    Can anybody give me a simple recipe to follow to do this? I've got the image downloaded and text edited in, but can't get it into the 100 x 100 pixel format. I'm not a total computer dunce, but pretty far from geek-level competence.

    Do you have photo editing software such as Photoimpression, Adobe or Photo Impact? If so, if you open the image - go to edit to size the image. Once there, change percent to pixels, make sure the image reads no more than 100 X 100 pixels... and save it in My Pictures. You cannot size the image on this website.

    Then go to the avatar setting hit browse, find My pictures, upload your image and go from there...

    Resized avatar

    Let's see if this works. I saved your image and resized it two different sizes.

    You right click on the one you want and save it to your hard drive.

    Then you change your avatar on the user control panel.

    Thanks! I was using Paint and the % shrink method. I've got a couple of photo editing programs tho. Maybe they'll let me specify pixels, and add the text, and cut the image square. I may also try another version of The Scream (black and white woodcut version may stay clearer when shrunk). If I don't get it right on my own now, then I'll use one of the ones Adventure Girl downsized.
