Where to get icons?
As you can see, I do not currently have an icon and I would like recommendations to websites that have icons. (The kind that go under your name and information.)

And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

errrr... icons?
 Do you mean... avatars? If you mean avatars, then find a pic you like and you can use any program that will resize it. MS Paint will even do. You just need to make sure the size is 60 x 60 pixels... or something.  |

If you want icons, you might try a Catholic or Orthodox church.

just try a search... and maybe narrow it down with a specific type (i.e. LOTR, a band, etc.) and a lot of times if you go to official website of say, a band or something like that, they will have different avatars you can use.

Well I also find pics I like and make my own avatars out of them by combining things or changing them. Like this one - my USA and Twin Towers was made with two different pics combined.

So, run it past me again. How do you change a picture into an avatar?
Oh, and I'm not a computer wiz so in plain English if you don't mind.

You need a paint program and you basically have to reduce or cut it down to 60x60 pixels in size. If it's a large pic - you won't be able to reduce it down without losing a lot of detail and possibly not even be able to see the pic.

I think it is pretty much a lost cause because I can't receive pictures via E-mail and my computer doesn't have paint. I'll just have to look on websites with avatars to download.
