[QUOTE=Eboniman]
Said she didn't like taking pictures but agreed to one from the back as I was leaving. The picture ended up being to big to upload. Anyone know how to resize it let me know.[/QUOTE]
Here is how to downsize a picture. If you have a windows based pc, then you have Microsoft Paint. Usually you can find this by going to the start menu, then to programs menu then to accessories. If not, just search for a program file called Paint.
(1) Open Paint
(2) once in Paint, select File, Open to open the picture to be downsized.
(3) After pic loads, select Image Menu and select Stretch and Skew.
(4) Change both settings of 100 for both vertical and horizontal to omething much smaller. Try 25 on each. This reduces each dimension to 25% the size
(5) Then select "save as" to save a smaller copy of the picture adding a _sm to the name of the original picture so you know which version is the smaller version to upload.
(6) If still too big repeat steps 2-5 on the downsized version of the picture using 80 each time (since downsized picture is already 25% then 80% of that = 20% of orginal picture size)

Thanks VS - the solution was right there the entire time and I just didn't notice it it. Those are much better solutions. If the answer was any closer I would have tripped over it. I was probably still floating in a blissful fog after my latest awesome fun filled adventure (see my posting in St Pete amp forum).
