How to make your own Avatar
Hello Hans, the first part of your question was how to make your own avatar. Well, all they really are is a .jpg or .gif picture file. However, there are some constraints about the size of the picture. On this site, they cannot exceed 75x75 pixels or 5K in file size (Michael, correct me if I am wrong on either of these points). I created my avatar in about 2 minutes using a photo editing program. I started by selecting a picture file, loading it into the editing program (PhotoSuite V5), resizing it from 1600x1200 to 64x48 pixels and saving it as a .gif file. Then, I went through the process described by Michael for adding it to my profile and that is it. If there are not that many avatars available for this type of a forum, perhaps we might consider starting a library. - John-
