I could post some pictures which a few might find interesting, but my
jpeg's are too big. How can I re-size them? Sorry, this questions probably been asked too many times, but I'm new here.
Create a account at www.photobucket.com (or similar free photo hosting site) then when you upload there it will auto resize your images to your selected setting (640x480/800x600 being suitable for forums use.) then simply link the image from there using image tags.
And yes another useful tip on this forum is the search function
I just use MS Outlook. Right click on the picture, send as email attachment, reduce the size, then save the attachment. Voila, smaller picture without too much of a reduction in size (just a reduction in kb's).
