Welcome from Mississippi.

Resizing isn't too hard. If you are using Windows, you can open/view the picture in paintbrush (Or paint) depending on the version. Once in there, I think it is the image pull down menu. Look at the properties first. If it is not using pixels, select that mode by clicking on the dot next to it. If your picture is bigger than about 450 x 350...then you'll neeed to resize.

Same tool bar, View....then it'll be stretch/skew. Then just redue the size. Normall you reduce one and it will do the other to scale. Kinda guess work at first.

Many of my pictures are like 1800x something, so try about 25% first shot. It'ds not the high techiest way, but it's available. Once you get it down to size. then go to FILE, Save As....put it some where on your harddrive with another name...then your ready to go.

I haven't used any webs ites so I can't remember what they are. If you have Microsoft Office on your computer thier is a Phot program included. They may have one on the Kodak site too.

Feel free to shout at me with e-mail or PM. We can get you fixed up around here. there is a bunch of us that play with more than trucks for fun.

Oh yeah...I am challenged at times with spelling...sorry...
But when saving, save as a JPG or GIF type file. BMP makes then too large.
