when you click 'new' make the icon 100 x 100
do whatever you want with pictures and words and then save it as a .gif file (this is done under the "save for web" option in file).
then just upload it under "your pics" on lj and there you go!
Also, if you want to animate something, there's an option for that under the save for web button.
have fun making icons! [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]
