Question Resizing a HUGE photo

My other half surprised me (and the only store card we had that was nearly back to zero) with a new digi camera.

BUT it's pictures a huge to view through email, and I'm gathering to upload to the www.

How do I resize them *the easy way*?... I am very much a novice!!

And I want to update my blog with all the new fluff I just haven't gotten to!

*This is why I couldn't upload pics yesterday. I wasn't NC it was me!!*

Do you have paint on your computer Donna? (Start menu -> Accessories ->Paint on Windows)
Import the photo to there and resize using the Tool menu bar -> stretch/skew -> and adding % values the same.
You can usually check the photo size by right clicking the picture and selecting properties.
Save the new pic with a different name and then upload.
HTH!

If you don't have software to resize it yourself, I know photobucket can automatically resize images when you upload them - they have a few different sizes to choose from. Perhaps other image hosting sites have the same option (?).

You can right click on the thumbnail of the pic and select edit, it automatically opens paint, well, my computer does
