It's the second Locostbuilders lesson. The first is learning how to use the archive search function 
ps go to control panel, edit profile, avatar URL.

Step 1 - create a pic of the right size and upload it into your photo archive
step 2 - go to control panel and select edit profile
step 3 - the hard part - past a link into the avater to your pic in your archive.
will have to doudle check the link bit in a moment got to go and sort something out
Good luck
Paul

Have you got microsoft picture manager installed ?
normally found in...
Start menue..
all programs..
microsoft office..
office tools..
picture manager..
If you have this just start it and then open the picure you want to resize - then there is an option to resize it - just play around untill it looks
right..
you can also crop it first to get rid of bits at the edge you dont want..
alternativly upload a pic to your archive and I will resize it for you.

Photobucket has a re-size facility then save back to PC, onto LB and then use URL from there.

Upload to your photo archive

Click on the picture to display it. Right click and copy picture location

Then click control panel/options on the top right of the screen, edit button, then paste the link into your avatar location box.
