Setting an avatar pic...

What the fuck? Why is this so difficult for me? I'm trying to put up a pic from my "mypictures" folder... First it told me that the file was too large, so I resized it and saved it and now it tells me that I have an invalid file type! What do I need to do to put in a damned avatar?

It's now down to 26X41 pixels. It's tiny. I don't feel like messing with photobucket, I just want to know how to get it in to be my avatar...
