I just changed mine. In the last one, of the wife and I on the Mekong River in northern Laos, we were a bit clearer, but that was taken eight years ago. This one is newer. Northern Thailand this past May. The elephantā€™s name is Phanom. (Pronounced with a hard P, not an F: Pa-nohm). ---

Iā€™m having my typically techno-challenged hard time resizing a multipixel photo down to the proper size. Iā€™m using Adobe Elements if anyone has worked with that and knows how to accomplish this simple task. ---

Iā€™m using Adobe Elements if anyone has worked with that and knows how to accomplish this simple task. Iā€™ve never used Elements, but I think itā€™s very similar to PhotoShop. Look for the Crop tool. Once you have it selected, set the pixel width and height to ā€œ100 pxā€ in the fields in the top info bar. Set the resolution to 72 pixels/inch. Now just use this tool to crop your image, and itā€™ll size it using those specs. Youā€™ll note the marquee frame is restrained to your size setting. Once you have it adjusted right, hit RETURN. It should now be the proper size. Now just save it as a jpeg, with a quality setting of around 6 or 7. ---

I finally updated my Pic from the boat I work on to one of my Wife and I that my daughter snapped. I did have one up the first day until today but it was the [Adam Hyler](http://www.mcclearwater.org/esp.php)and not me. **pseudotriton ruber ruber** , if you want to Email the pic, I will resize it for you and send it back within a few days. ETA: Nevermind, I see you got helped already. Cool! BTW: That is one dated picture isnā€™t it. I thought about using one from my 20s too. ---

I do, I do! (And I thought I posted to this thread a week ago. Guess I didnā€™t.) Merely an observation, but Iā€™m almost always disappointed to click on a profile and find a picture of a house or a dragon or whatever. By all means, itā€™s your pic, do what you want. I just usually find it more annoying than amusing. FWIW, YMMV, IMO and all that. ---

As much as I should know better, I am putting up my goofy pic. To answer a few unasked questions: 1. No, I am not bald 2. No, I am not naked (in that picture) 3. Yes, that IS why I Love Me and have written a book about it (Vol. I) 4. No, I am NOT serious about number 3 ā€” **I Love Me, Vol. I** is just a palindrome (so is my Location) Have a nice day! ---

Well itā€™s very close to pointless, as you only get to see them when you look at your profle. But Iā€™ve never been one to pass up the oportunity to do something pointless. So I have one. ---
