You need some sort of photo editing program. Paintshop Pro, Photoshop - just about any "paint" program will do this. There is a "resize" command under one of the menus, usually "Image" and most program just let you type in the target size. You can also crop a picture, so that it just includes the "important" part, THEN resize.

If you want to use an image as an avatar, it needs to be 60x60 pixels or smaller. Miss Hoppy's picture on mine is 50x50, and shows up fine, I think!

If you get desperate, you can email the images to me, and I can resize them for you and email them back, just send them to me at [email protected]!
