Finally, real icons.

While I do like the international symbol for transgender, seeing it pop up every time I commented was driving me up the wall.

Now I'm just showing my fandom roots.

Could you tell me, in *really* simple (luddite-friendly) terms, how to resize a pic (in GIMP) to make it allowable to upload as a LJ icon?

Hmm, I've never used GIMP.

I did, however, find this page (http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/08/13/how-to-resize-images-using-the-gimp/), which shows how to resize images with GIMP. If that's not clear, let me know and I'll try to translate.

LJ icons should no more than 100 pixels x 100 pixels, and no larger than 40 kb.

You can upload .jpg, .gif, and .png.
