How to Resize Your Images
Finally If you are having trouble with the picture upload try resizing your image before uploading it. This will dramatically reduce the size of the image file and the upload time. One option to do this is Picasa from Google. To download Picasa click HERE. Once you have downloaded and installed Picasa simply follow the steps below to resize the picture.
1. Open Picasa and locate the picture to be resized
2. With the picture selected click on "File" and then "Export picture to folder" (this will create another copy of your picture with a smaller size, so the original remains unchanged)
3. Select the folder you would like to export too
4. Enter 640 into the "Resize to" field and click "OK". This will resize your image to roughly 640x480.
5. You're done, the new resized photo is now in a folder at the location you selected and is ready to be posted
