Limiting size of attached photo

[Nelson]

How do I reduce the pixels of a photo before posting it?

Generally you use a photo editing program and choose the "re size" option. Or you could post a link to your shared webshots album?

There are a bunch you can download for free.
I'm using Pixillion Image Converter.
Simple to use.

And I have the Microsoft one recommended by someone here, maybe Basil.

Or can use Windoze 'Paint' Image stretch/skew

For us real technology dummies: how can I add photos to a posting here?
Thanks

In any post you would use the File Manager located at the bottom right under Poll Manager.
You then browse to the file you want to upload and select it.
It has to be under 100K in file size.

OR

put the image on a site like Picasa and then put the link in your message by clicking the "Enter and image" button at the top, right next to the little envelope, then you enter the web address (URL) and it displays the picture in your message.

I use the free image resizer from Microsoft. It is one of the free Power Toys. It is very fast and does not require opening a separate program. I can choose the size I want and it will do batch files as easy as doing one.

I open a photo I want to use on this site with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, then click edit, and resize to under 100K.
