Hello all
Yesterday I spent too much time trying to get my avatar and signature working.
It was sometimes very frustrating but I'm happy with the results.
I read through this newbies section and noticed lots of question regarding photos and HTML, and just wanted to share with others some free sites that I found extremely helpful.

The first one is irfanview, a free download from http://www.irfanview.com.  This is a very easy-to-use photo editor and it is very simple to crop photos, and to reduce to any size...very handy for making 100x100 avatars.

The next freebie site I want to recommend is http://www.photobucket.com.  This is a free image hosting site and it is very easy to upload photos to.

HTML had me pulling my hair out..... I was trying to get my signature photo to link to our kombi web site... This is a great 'cut and paste' HTML site which helped me.

I hope this helps
Have fun
