Thanks so much. I've been messing around for a couple of days trying to figure it out.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it works.

 Hey Ric,

Nicely Done!!!  I got my pics to switch on the Picasion, but I've not been able to get them to upload as my OH Avatar...which version did you upload?

Mike,

Thanks for your kind words on the pictures. I couldn't believe the difference in less than 3 months.

Now, the process for getting things to work on this site are a little difficult.  Here's what I did:

1. Downsize Your Pictures: Both of my pictures were about 3 megabytes each. So I used Infranview to copy them and make them smaller.

2. Select Only 2 Pictures in Picasion: I tried using more pictures but that made the file size too large for this site.

3. Change "Size" in Picasion: I tried all the different options but the only one that would make the file size correct was "Userpic - 100px wide".

4. Change "Speed" in Picasion: I used "slow" because I didn't want the picture changing too fast.

5. Select "Create Animation".

6. Save to Your Hard Drive: I wasn't successful in pasteing links for my avatar. Near the bottom of the Picasion screen is an option to save it to your computer.

7. Verify File Size: This site won't take avatars larger than 20 kb (which is fairly small).

8. Upload to This Site.

Good luck.
