Making Photos Smaller

I would like to upload some photos to Forumgarden, but evidently, some are too large. What is the easiest and best way to make these photos smaller so I can upload to show you all. I mainly have my indoor Christmas decorations I would like to share. Thanks.

i hope this is right....put your pics in your photos file. then scroll down to manage attachments in your next post and hit browse. then upload. you'll get a thumbnail.

Hiya...first I think you need to save them as jpeg files rather than Bitmap. This format seems to be more acceptable when you upload using 'manage files' (at the bottom of the page)

Before I uploaded as 'thumbnails' my pictures used to explode on to the page..!!

If you have a program like fireworks or Photoshop you can crop them, then make the image 72 (for the web). Then export the picture.

There is also a shareware program called RYP...Resize your Picture that is really easy, and does a great job.
