I actually like Serif Photoplus. It's a great free alternative to Photoshop. It’s kind of choppy in my view as well. I actually like Serif Photoplus. It’s a great free alternative to Photoshop.

Letting browsers resize it isn't a good idea, because some browers do a crappy job. I think that Firefox doesn't do any sort of averaging, it just picks the closest pixel to whatever fractional pixel the rescaling transformation points at. I saw the image first and saw the word SCIFNFROCKS because the think bottom lines on the E's got lost. (Plus, the whole thing looked jaggy.) Because my eye jumped to the image first, I spent some time trying to figure that out before reading the post and realizing what the word was supposed to read. Here's a Gimp-resized version that fits in your blog width: http://brahms.phy.vanderbilt.edu/~rknop/temp/inkling.png (I also change the transparent backgroudn to a white background, since that's what your blog has.)
