Hi Benita,

When uploading your photo onto Image Shack there is a 'drop down' menu which gives you the option to choose a size relevant to where you are going to post the photo.

i.e: 320x240 for websites and emails
      640x480 for message boards.

So if you know that you have selected the 640 option you can go back and re-do it to the 320x240.

Hi Benita,

It seems that for both pics you have chosen 640x480.  If you want to make your photo smaller you will need to re-size it o 320x240.  Keep trying, practice makes perfect.

Looks ace Benita well done!!  Joe told me you how to save it as your profile picture last year but I can't remember how I did it - sorry am as bad with computers!  Read through some of the older posts and you should stumble across it!  Fingers crossed, good luck and you look lovely in that hat!!

I may have posted this before,  link below is free image resizer from Microsoft powertoys.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

look down right hand side of page for download link....
adds a resize option to right click menu when you select any photo or image,so no need to run any programme to resize.
gives four size options.
 
 640 * 480
 800 * 600
1024 * 768
  240 * 320
