I'll try that after I'm finished adding a few other poses to my sprite. And I think I have some white in there, but it may just be really light gray so it won't become the colour of the background you post it in.

Another tip:

If you're going to make a sprite white and don't want it to become the colour of the background you paste it in, go to the colour menu, select "Edit colors", hit the "Define custom colors", and select white. Move the little triangle down a bit to make it slightly darker, so it will appear white to people's eyes and when you post it in a background, it won't take the colour of the background. That's been a problem for some people.

EDIT: I suddenley remembered one thing that slipped my mind for so long:

When resizing sprites, do NOT resize them by hand. That only makes them look distorted. If you're going to resize, use the "Stretch or Skew" function under "Image". When you do that, try to keep it to multiples of 10. I think other combinations work, but I don't really know. Also, do NOT stretch it to some big number like 400%. That's just plain freaky.
