I think the photo you are trying to use it too big. You can use some online image resizing sites and they will usually work. Or if you want to you can post the picture on here and I will try to re-size it.

Butch, how is this? I used Imageshack and went to resizing and set it to thumbnail. Here is what it looks like.  Here is the link just copy and paste it. http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6764/2202jpgo.jpg%20 - |

Butch, some photo resizers tend to blur. I used MS photo manager and it will blur pictures. HTH
If you don't like your 220, I would like a chance at it-BTW, blurry means it is going fast ------------- |

Butch - your avatar image is square and your photo is rectangular. First crop the side edges of your photo to make it square then resize it smaller. That should reduce the distortion of the picture once it gets to the avatar size. Mike
