I'm having trouble posting pictures. I keep getting "file too big" message. Any suggestions?

If you don't have a photo editing tool, check out IRFANVIEW. It was free the last time I checked and had a very simple UI to resize pics to several presets

You can also shrink images using Windows Paint (mspaint.exe). Use the .png format to resize your image & then re-save as a .jpeg - which will be smaller & more widely supported ((esp. on the Web).
I would suggest that 800x600 is plenty big enough for most images.
Hope that helps someone.
