I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but how the heck do I compress a photo?
I've tried to make the pic I want under 15kb, but I can't get it any smaller than 16kb.
Can flickr do it for me?
I'm don't play well with computers...
 
Not sure about Flickr but if you can get a free Photobucket account, you can edit your picture and resize it to "small." Then you can paste in the direct link.
 
I also recommend downloading a copy of GIMP. It's a free editor based off of Adobe Photoshop. It very easy to learn and makes things so much easier with cropping, blurring, sharpening, etc.
 
Hahahaha!!! Is there really a program called gimp or are you taking the piss?!
Is the word gimp funny to americans or am is this another aussie thing.?

I thought the same thing with I found it, but it's actually stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. But, yeah, I'm pretty sure gimp is a universal term.

Another vote for GIMP! (Why do I feel like watching Pulp Fiction now?) :D

IrfanView is another decent program. Alternatively, you can always post your pic in this thread so someone else can resize it for you.

BTW, Aussie_Brandon, I think your av and profile pic are very tasteful. :)
