I just downloaded some gif software and made the file smaller and then put it on my business website and the avatar worked. I was also just looking into some site hosting. (any suggestions there would be appreciated too!) Just took me awhile to figure it out. I appreciate the url and you must have reduced the size for me also. I'll see where I want to put my stuff and I'll switch the url once I get that set up. At least I can have some personality here now, hee! Thanks. ~Finz
