Yay, another person makes an appearance! It's always cool to put a face to a name. I'm normally not too bad at guessing what someone looks like but hadn't managed to do so this time ("they look so young these days", etc).
I usually use Gimp to resize stuff, or ImageMagick if I'm in a command-line mood. I think sites like imgur automatically resize for you, and failing any of them, I can do it for you if that would help.
