Here is a good tutorial I wrote for another group.
But the info applies here as well.

Thank you Pooh! That was awesome. Now I just have to figure out how to decrease the size of the pic before posting!

Download IrfanView (a free program).
Install the program. This program should be standard on all computers.
Open the image in IrfanView.
Click Image>>Resize/Resample
You set the image size in pixels.
Or set it by percentages of the original.
Make sure the box is checked to Preserve Aspect Ratio.
Then click OK. Save the resized image.

Hint: Work with a copy of the original image only.

There is an easier way to post pictures here than all the ones listed above.
Go to Photobucket, establish an account and you can upload your pictures to this website. Photobucket is a free site.
Once your photos are uploaded look under the picture there are several small boxes below the pictures, take the mouse and drag across the tag line box under your picture, hit control C and then write your message. When you decide where you want the picture in your message hit control V and you will see the location of where your picture is located. When you preview the message, you should see your Photobucket picture there, and then just post your message.

I forgot to say, you don't have to resize or reduce your photos with Photobucket. Photobucket with automatically resize them to fit where you paste them.

TinyPic is owned by PhotoBucket.
But with TinyPic you don't have to sign up.
