G'day Karissa. Do you own the hamster pictured in your avatar? 
No wait, isn't that a cat in a laundry basket?

Yea, its a cat 
I was trying to get a pic of my hamster up, but the "file" or whatever was too big, so I got this off the internet. 
I love your pic btw

Thanks, I made it myself...
You might still be able to use your own hamster pic if you crop and resize it, then save it as a JPEG. Even a simple drawing program like MS Paint will let you do that. Open your photo in Paint and trim away any unnecessary bits. Then select the whole picture and click'n'drag the corner until the picture measures less than 140px on a side. "Save As" a .jpg file. That should bring the file size down far enough to use as an avatar.
See ya later!
