1. What is the correct size and format for the photo I send?The best conditions for a photo is for the dimensions (size) to be 48 pixels by 48 pixels and the format to be .JPG By sending the above format you save me the time and effort of having to convert each Friend's picture before putting it on the Home Page. Worse case scenario, if you do not know how to convert the image you have, just send it to me full size and I will take the time converting your picture for you. If you could, please add a gift of a dollar or two or whatever you feel is fair to help a friend. 2. How do I get a photo converted to the correct size?By far the easiest way to resize and convert an image is to go to Pic Resize 2.0. Browse your computer for the picture you want to send, click on it and then click open. Your file will be entered on to the website. Then click "Continue". In section "1", you can crop or select a part of the picture. Section "2", Select Custom Size and enter 48 in the Height and Width Boxes and change the menu to Pixels. In Section "3", at the bottom, make sure you "Save As" JPG and then click "Resize Pic!" On the next page click on "Click Here to Download/Save As". When the File download box comes up click "Save". Then click "Save" Again when the Window's "Save As" box comes up. You now have an image you can send. Our friends at PicResize.com take donations for giving you the free image conversion. 3.
