first one is a female Black Swallowtail, second one is a Cloudless Sulphur

Nice! But could you make your posted pics a little smaller? They take up 2 screens and lots of right-left scrolling and can't see the whole pic at one time.

Any thoughts on how to make them smaller but still keep the quality? It's a 5 MP camera, but then when I crop the pic, it must still be way too big. What should be the maximum KB size?

If you don't want to physically resize the file, then just use the height="xxx" in your image code, after the image URL inside the brackets.

But if you have Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop you can resize and then sharpen and get almost exactly the same quality with a smaller size. That is what I do with mine before I post them on forums/webpages.

Not much lost in quality when viewing on a Web browser. The filesize in this day and age of broadband majority is not a big issue either, but anything over 200KB will try a dial-up's patience.

The "height" HTML attribute will work, but the "width" attribute is more intuitive, since this will eliminate the need to scroll horizontally.

If you're copy&pasting photobucket-supplied code, just insert width="###" after the URL of the image within the image tag.

Examples:

width="800"

width="600"

width="400"

width="200"
