Allen,

The quickie way I use to shrink photo files is to open them with your computer's "Paint" software.  That's a somewhat generic program that comes on most Microsoft/PC-based computers.

Once your picture is open with Paint, click on the "Image" tab, then click on "Stretch/Skew".  That'll cause a window to pop up, and the first half of the box allows you to enter percentage values to "Stretch" your picture.  You can actually shrink them by entering a percentage less than 100%.  If you play around with the horizontal and vertical values using the same number for both, the proportions of the picture will not change.  Gradually shrink the picture until you think it would look right on the site.  You can then save the file on your PC under a different name, and not lose the High-Resolution version of the same picture. 

I also crop pictures using Paint, but that's another story.

Troy has pointed out before that the file size also needs to be under 200kb as well.  One method to check that is by right-clicking on the file name and clicking on "properties".

Hope this helps,

Geno
