Hi SandJ,
Is some special software used for this?

Hi Jack
You'll have to ask SandJ - he is not me.
The one I use is fairly special, Macromedia (now Adobe) Fireworks, but there are some quite easy (and I think free) ones available. Most of them are rather limiting, which is no surprise if they are free or very inexpensive.
I don't know any to recommend, as I've never used them, but I'm sure someone will advise if you start a new thread and ask the specific question.
For anyone reading this who would like SandJ or me to do one for them, it helps a great deal if you re-size your images to 80 x 80 pixels before sending them. It also makes it more likely that it will be done quickly, as we don't always have time to play.

Thanks very much Zebedee - I'll work out how to use the system yet!

I have had a go at getting this Avater thing to work but no luck. I have followed the instructions. We have thousands of pics taken on an 5 MP camera which are all in the laptop. Do i have to use a picture which has been taken on a mobile phone to get it to the right size. I do not have any fancy photo editing gismos. I am not up with all the mods you can do to the pics as most of the jargon goes over my old head. Could someone PM me with easy to follow idiot proof steps.
Sorry to be asking such simple questions to some of you. We do not know any camera or IT buffs down here in Spain to show us.

Hi Steve and Ann
I'm tempted to say "Bu**er off" but that would be a display of infantile jealousy of the worst kind. We're in England and it's wet and miserable.
But seriously - just send some piccies as attachments to a post. I doubt if they will be too big since your 5Mp camera will probably take 2 or 3Mp photos most of the time. Try it and see.
I may not be able to do it for you (fixing leaks in the truck) but someone will. I think Steve is around. Give an idea of what you would like - plus rash promises of generous bribes. You never know your luck!!
