Adding a picture to a post

[wallybyam]

Help! How do I add a picture to a post. I tried doing it under "attach file", but it told me that the picture was too large. Is the attach file option the correct proceedure to add a picture to the bottom of the post? If so, how do I reduce the size of the jpeg file?

Thanks,

Bruce

do you have any photo editing programs on your computer?

if so, what type?

John, the one that I have installed and use is Microsoft Picture It.

once you have selected a photo, hit "size and position". you can check the box "enter exact dementions". then you can custom size the pic. (in pixels not inches)

you will want to use a maximum of 600x450 pixels. this is the max. this site allows.

you will want to save it as a jpeg. (i don't think the picture it express format will upload)

also, go a little smaller than 600x450, something like 598x448 because picture it express seems to add 2 or 3 pixels for some reason.

then you can save the pics where you can find them easily (my docs for example) and up load them or attach them to a post.

hope this helps!
