Carol, et al,
This is just like drawing or painting. The more you work with something, the better you get at it. Try practicing everyday by sending emails with different files you've saved in your different graphic programs. You can see how big they are by right clicking on them and doing a "get info" (or in Windows..."properties") and viewing the kb size. If you get them all at 100 kb or less you can post in the threads. If you get one of yourself at 15 kb....you can use it as an avatar.
