0 polly Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 If you have a program to resize it, you can make it smaller and then save it.Otherwise: Using My Computer, go to where you can see the file. Right-click the file, Click on Send To and then on Mail Recipient. You will get a little message that asks if you want to make the picture smaller.Now you get an email with an attachment. Right-click on the attachment and save. It is now small enough to upload.Hope that makes sense. I am sick with bronchitis and a headache, so I cannot do screen prints, etc. You will have to wait a few days if you need more details. Need to get to a doctor.

0 polly Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The image needs to be of type gif, jpg, jpeg or png. That means, if you right click on the image in My Computer and click on Properties, the last three / four characters in the name (after the dot .) should be gif, jpg, jpeg, png.You can convert the picture to the right type by opening it in Paint (Start | All Programs | Accessories | Paint) Click on File, then Save As. Change the file type to JPGHope that makes enough sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
