How do you make an avatar?
 

I am trying to make an avatar out of a picture of myself so I can use it on the Kasim Info site, which is the same type of forum as this one. I have a picture in Macromedia Fireworks 4 that I have made small (so as to be an appropriate size for an avatar), and have tried converting it to both jpg and gif, then I put it on the web and then put a link to it in my profile on the Kasim Info board, but only a small square with a red x shows up.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong (or not doing)?

Not sure if this is considered a `double post', but
 

I've managed to fix the problem. It's working now.
