User blog:CornOnTheCod/My avatar and suggestions of equipment I should get.

I have some problems uploading my picture. the real image that is supposed to be seen is a more closer up version of what I have and has Tank Dempsey (in words) by Dempsey himself. Maybe you can see that picture, but I can't really tell. What should I do to fix this? I tried re-uploading the picture. Also, there is a white line slashing across the top of the picture (in both of them). I don't know why it is there, but it may have something to do about the image size.

I have seen that the images I uploaded are blurry. So, does anyone know a good camera or what ever to clear the images up a bit? I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks!
