Maybe I am an idiot but how do you resize the consultant logo to make it big enough to use as a FB profile pic? I have been building my fan page and that is the one thing I can't get to work. maybe if I walk away it will come to me. TIA
 
Usually only a portion of a picture shows as your profile pic. Actually I believe it suggests in the online training about social networking to not use the consultant logo as your profile pic because it's not personal - although I know some people do, and that's fine, I just remember that portion for some reason. I don't think you can resize it down to the size it needs to be for a profile pic and have it readable.
