You don't have to use such a high-powered program for something so simple. You can do it in Paint.

Just select the entire image, choose you new size as a ratio and then resize your canvas. You don't have 100's of other tools getting in the way.

Most free webhosts don't allow for "offsite linking".  Some do, but I couldn't tell you which ones.  Um, doesn't your ISP give you some webspace?

Why don't you do what retroborg did, and post it here?

The "Avatar" thread just a little further down the screen....

I actually thought that what retroborg did was poor "netiquette".  He's basically making BYOAC host his avatar and sig over and over and over.  If Saint is cool with it, then great, but I wouldn't have done that.
