It's a while since I've done anything like that, but Fiona's post on another thread should be of help:
Once you've resized the image you go to "User Control Panel", then "Profile", then "Edit Avatar". You'll be able to upload your avatar there.Fiona1986 wrote:To resize:
Save image on your computer
Open image in editing software (windows picture editor or microsoft office editor for example, but you could use paint)
If using an editor open the image and click 'edit' or 'edit image' etc.
There should then be a resize option. Usually you can choose to resize by a certain percentage or to a certain size.
We need the picture to be 100X100. Typing in 100x100 will distort it as we'd be reducing one dimension more than the other. Instead, you can select by percentage and click downwards until both numbers are less than 100.
If you're using paint, the size is displayed in the bottom right corner. Just select the whole image by pressing CTRL+A and then click a corner to resize it keeping an eye on the size display.

Silly me, the picture just comes up! Just use square brackets instead of the round ones I have used to illustrate this:
