2. You have to resize it before it
will upload. 48x48 pixels is the max. - which is pretty tiny. Use your usual photo editor and try again.

I just did it.

3. You need to resize it to no larger than 48 pixels
It's going to be a little hard to see at that size.

GIMP is a freeware you can use to do the resizing.

6. Yeah
It's pretty impossible to downsize that image to 48x48 and render it recognizable. Glad you found GIMP. Open Source software is teh bomb diggity!
