Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Internet & Web Design?
perhaps you should try saving it into a different format, such as GIFF which takes the elast space
you can also try making the image iutself smaller in size

Instead of uploading a picture from your computer onto your column, you can upload it to an image hosting site such as [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). Once the picture is uploaded, copy the direct link, and paste the URL into the 'URL of a picture of you' section of your Profile Settings and it'll work that way. This option allows you to upload a picture of any size.

Changing the physical size of a picture on your screen by stretching or skewing it doesn't affect the size of the FILE at all. That's a common misconception.
What you need to do is reduce the RESOLUTION of the image, the "dots per inch". That will make the image look blockier at large sizes, of course, but it's the only way to actually shrink the size itself - well, apart from making sure that it's in a relatively efficient file format. You're generally best off with JPGs for photo-type images, and GIFs for icons and other simple images.
The Windows Paint utility is a lousy tool for this purpose. Download a freeware graphics editor; any of them would be better than Paint. Then read the Help to find out how to resample your image to a smaller size.
Good luck!

make sure you save it as a JPEG. file - if you save it as anythign else like bitemap it`ll be too big try that.

Is it a .BMP, Hun? I've discovered that makes a difference. Make shore it's a .JPG
If it's STILL not working, go to:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and sign up for a FREE account. Simply submit your picture, and copy it's URL address. Next, paste it in the "URL OF A PIC OF YOU" slot on your "PROFILE SETTINGS" page.
If you would like me to try or host it for you on my photobucket account, all you have to do is message me on AIM. S'up to you. Goodluck though. :D
