You'll need to resize the picture with a photo editing program, then you can upload it - its the very last option on your Control Panel page.

Your photo will have to be under 100x100 pixels and less than 8KB total file size.

For photo editing and resizing, I use a french freeware program called PhotoFiltre, myself. A lot of people use some version or other of PhotoShop.

And here's a thread that talks about photo resizing.

And The Gimp is a good phote manipulation program.
Best thing, it is free. Almost as good as Photoshop.

Get a free photobucket.com account. There is a feature that will size it to "avatar" size.

You could also upload the picture, if it is VW related, to the gallery. Then use the thumbnail for an avatar. :)
