Read the stickies. 
My suggestion would be to use www.tinypic.com. When uploading, you can
select the size of the pic and it will be resized for you automatically.
How To Resize Images and Host Images
Any software programs which can resize images and save them in JPG format can be used to resize images to appropriate size for use in signatures, including:
Adobe Photoshop
Jasc Paint Shop Pro (purchased by Corel in October 2004 )
Microsoft Paint
Microsoft Photo Editor (comes with Office 97/2000/2002)
Microsoft Picture Manager (comes with Office 2003)
GIMP
Serif PhotoPlus (review)
IrfanView
Or a free online (no software to install) tool such as http://www.myimager.com/
If you don't already have web-hosting space available at a site which allows off-site image usage, you can host a signature image at one of these free sites that does allow off-site image use (Webshots, Yahoo, MSN, and many others, do not!):

To insert an image in your signature after it's hosted, use the direct address of your image (starts with 'http://' and ends with '.jpg') - not the address of the page to display it, and place it between [img] and [/img] codes in your signature.
To edit your signature, go to the User CP and go to the Edit Signature section.
"Edit Profile Picture" does not have any connection to, or effect on your signature.
