Question, I am trying to put a couple of pics up on here but the size is to big, I used the smallest setting on my camera but still to large. How do I shrink the size to fit the 600 x 800 that is allowed?
Thanks a lot

There are a variety of ways. Generally you want to shoot your photos at the highest resolution your camera has. Thats why you paid for all those megapixels! Download your photos to your computer. When you deceide which ones you want to post copy that file (save as), that way you will always have your "original" One of the easier ways to reduce the size is to use windows picture manager. Find "compress photos" I think its in image but Im not sure. Choose compress for web OK and your done! Let us know how it works out!

Or you could use Photobucket, www.photobucket.com. It's free, and it gives you the option of uploading your photos at different sizes. I always use it.

another simple method to reduce picture size is via MS paint.

1) Just start Paint and open your photo.
2) Image->Stretch/Skew
3) change the values for Horizontal/Vertical to something less than 100%
