Resources for designing your profile

Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) - Upload pictures here for posting in your profile and blog or for posting in comments. This is a free image host.


The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/windows/) - This is an open source image editing program which is very similar to Adobe Photoshop, but free. Great for libraries who don't have the budget for a Photoshop license.
