You are correct. For the Avatar, just use whatever picture editing software you use to resize the image to fit within the limitations (150 pixels by 150 pixels I think someone said), do a save as, give it a name, then upload that file as your avatar.
It is a great tutorial! That's how I load them on the GW forums as well. My only ? is that the instructions seem to be for putting a photo within a post, not as an avatar. When I try to add a photo there, it pulls up a browse button to select a file from your hard drive. So not sure how to use the Photobucket option there.
