erm........bear in mind i'm a total dunce when it comes to computers so how do you make the pictures smaller? ta 
I use Adobe photoshop elements 2, once into the program go to "file"-"open"- find the photo you want to reduce, click on "image", then "duplicate image" (which gives you a copy to work on without affecting the original) rename this as reduced copy.
While still in image scroll down to "resize", this will then show
-"image size", click on this. In the box that appears change the width size to 800, the other boxes will change to match, then click on -"OK"-go to "file" -"save as" -"save"-the box that opens, Jpeg options, shows at the bottom the new size of the photo in KB's, the box next to this shows @ what download speed, if it says 56.6kbs and you're on Broadband click on the down arrow and change this to 2 Mbps. click on "OK" if you are happy with the new size and it's then ready to post on the forum at the reduced size.
Sounds complicated but it's not at all.
