Success! Thanks to all of you. I did as instructed at MS Paint.
Now that I have something, I can tinker with the sizing to maybe make it look better.

I put this thread here in "Meta" because there was a kind-of similar thread here I found via "Search".

Thanks for the help. Tomorrow (Thurs, US time) I will see if I can put my avatar in (the picture is at my office).
Each of you: want a tip? Then PM me w/ precise instructions and BTC address. Bitcoin only. Once I get my avatar in.

And, for anyone wondering how someone can get to be a "Hero Member" not knowing how to do this kind of stuff (non-programmer to boot), the secret is: ask!

I have the photo ready to go, except it is too large (6.41 MB). In MS Paint, and a .jpg file.
I would certainly appreciate any help in "shrinking" it, or whatever, thank you.

oh..that's too easy ..follow my steps !
step1: right click on the image that you wanna edit , click on edit to open in MS-paint.
step2: click on resize
step3: select the pixels radio button from resize dialog box.
step4: make necessary pixel changes 120x70 pixels, be sure to uncheck maintain aspect ratio.
step5: click ok and save the file.
If you feel happy with my effort you can Tip some nasty coins , though not recommend.

Go to ms paint, and then resize the photo, and lower the quality if needed. At least with me the quality and file size is lowered when I do it or save in different format.
Or go to services and offer a bounty for the first that do it for you

no need for a bounty. I'll do it for free
just PM me the link to the uploaded photo and I'll get back to you in a hour or so.

You can try using paint.net and reducing the quality through that. To do so, open up the photo in paint.net, click Save and then a box will pop up allowing you to lower the quality until it's below the Bitcointalk threshold, which I believe is 1MB. I have a feeling that number is off, so if someone could correct me that would be awesome.
