ok... here's the bare-bones method.

Open "Paint" (it's in start->accessories)

open your picture

click on image->stretch/skew

now you can 'stretch' the picture smaller by putting in a number smaller than 100 (just make sure to stretch horizontal and vertical by the same amount, or else it won't look right).

Once it's small enough (you can eyeball it against avatars that are on the site), save it to a new filename.

Now load it into imageshack.us

LOL, yeah because I think it was BigRed in my example.. "ya, k, k, ok.." hehe

Good idea about the tutorial. It'd be time consuming though. Still, there's lot of answers in the "About HW / Help / Suggestions / Introductions" sub-forum. Pretty much everything on this board is basic anyways. If someone has a question, I hope he isn't affraid to ask it on this sub-forum, or email one of the mods.
