Erick,
Rob has put avatar photo instructions in the first post of this forum. It has a title with CUSTOM AVATARS in the line. You don't need Photobucket for this. Use a photo editor that you likely have on your computer already. Save the reduced photo on your computer because you are going to email it to the address in Rob's post. Be sure to read all of that first posting and the others Rob posted there. All will then go to plan and you will have your avatar.
