Help with sig

[Premezilla]

You could use something as simple as Microsoft Paint to squeeze its size down.

Word up Bolty and Elric,

I have a question: How?
I mean, I believe that the forum only allows me to use an image in my sig if it comes off a website. And if I recall correctly, someone said that geocities isn't a good site to host pics on. Now, here's my dilemma: I already tried fiddling with HTML source codes and all that hokey-pokey, but I have absolutely no clue as to what everything means. So that was scratched. Also, even if I managed to shrink it down, I would still need to post it up somewhere so that I could use it to "link" to my sig. So Bolty and Elric: How would I go about shrinking the sig down? I mean, I really like it, cause it's a cool barb pic, and if I couldn't use it....then that would stink. So anyway, could you guys tell me (perferably in step-by-step directions) on how to shrink it down then put it back up onto my sig. Thanks!

Also, is the reason you don't allow pics for sigs to be pulled straight from someone's computer part of the software for the new forum, or is it just becuse you don't want to "hold onto" lotsa different pics that would take up tons of space? Just a question.

EDIT: Almost forgot my greeting....also, how could I go about making part of that pic for my avatar? Thanks again.
