Are You Sick and Tired of Fuzzy Avatars on Digg? Here’s How to Fix Yours.
Posted in Blogging Tips and Advice

It’s seems that the Digg redesign has fubar’d everyone’s avatars.
Here’s how we made ours look good - not fuzzy!
The new size of your avatar should be 60 X 60 pixels. Most importantly, your image should be square.
Here’s a great, easy to use thumbnail tool. We use it to generate all of the images across our blogs. The stock photos that we use in our blog posts are around 200K downloaded. We run them through this tool and they are under 20K with no image degradation.
For example… check out the excellent (and really hot) image on this post. It’s only 11k - down from the 161k iStockPhoto original. Not bad, huh?
The tool is called Extreme Thumbnail Generator and it rocks! (No this is not an affiliate link - just a great tool. :-))
It’s easy to use and just simply works. Whether you’re trying to create an avatar or upload pics to your website, we’ve found Extreme Thumbnail Generator to be a must have tool.
No, it’s not free but neither is beer. However, it comes with a free 19 day trial with no registration required, so get it and fix your Digg avatar!
I’m tired of looking at fuzzy pictures!
