resizing photos to upload for sharing?

[boogiemom]

Okay, I see on how to upload photos but they must be too big because it won't work for me. :(

How can I resize them so I can share my sweet boys with everyone?

Thanks! I know someone here will know just what to do.

Most computers have simple picture programs. Do you have a program with which you can edit the picture? Try double-clicking on the picure and see if you can open up a program to edit it. In most programs there will be a way to resize the image. Look through the menus and look for "image...resize" or if you can't find anything like that, try using the help menu and search for resizing images. What kind of an operating system do you have? Mac? Windows?

Thanks Eileen! I appreciate you taking the time to try to help me. I found the way to resize the photos and it uploaded but when I tried to post I got a message that said:

Following query failed
then there was just a bunch of "gobblety-gook"

Maybe I'm just not supposed to be posting pictures of my boys....I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Let me know if you have any idea what I could be doing wrong.

Thanks,again!

Hmm...are the pictures jpegs? When you upload them, do you click on the .jpg attachment type? Or if it's a gif, do you click on the .gif attachment type?

I do know that sometimes if I accidentally load a jpg but leave it on .txt as attachment type, and I try to look at the picture, all I get is some gobbledy-gook.

Or is it not allowing you to upload anything at all?

ETA: Oh, and what size did you resize the pics to?

A little OT but what about when I try to attach and I get a msg that says "This document contains no data"

I know they are the right sized .jpg files.

Why can't they attach? I've tried a million times w/ different pics.
