Help!!!

I am attempting to make this my avatar. I am able to shrink it down to a decent sized picture, however it remains over the file size limit. Does anyone here have skills with this sort of thing?

How's this?

First I cropped and resized it using:

www.paint.net

And then I ran the image through this to compress this size:

Yahoo! Smush.itâ„¢

Thank you for the help Black Dragon, however I am not gettting a message that says "This is not a valid image file" when I attempt the use this picture. Could this be because it is a .bmp file?

Hi Joe,

The image that I posted is a .jpg, so it shouldn't be giving you a hard time. I'm just going to go ahead and assign it as your avatar.
