Lilian, great pictures!!
You were asking how to resize and post them directly so I'll copy the advice Roy gave me when I was trying unsuccessfully to post my first pictures:
2 ways that I know of finding the file size with Windows XP or 98
(obviously depends on what system you're running on the PC) either,
open the pic folder in Thumbnails or Filmstrip view and hold your
mouse pointer over the picture and a separate little window will show
you file details such as type and size.
the other way is to right mouse click on the pic file and then left
click on properties, this will also show you the file size ...KB or
1,000's of bytes
To resize the pic (again if using XP) double left click on the pic
file, this should open up the picture in "Windows Picture & Fax
Viewer",
at the bottom of this window is a toolbar the right hand tool is image
editor, click on that will open up "Paint",
click on the "Image" tool at the top
then the "stretch/skew" button
alter(reduce) the horizontal & vertical values by the same amount
(start of with 50%) then see if the file size has come down to 50kb
(check as above)
there are plenty of other types of image editing software around, but
the way I have described can be done with just the standard windows
98/XP installation. I do apologise to all those who aren't Windows
users
Hope this helps, it worked well for me. Give it a try and let us know if it doesn't work. |
