You need to resize them to approx 8.33" on the long side (or smaller). You'll need a program that can handle jpg or gif format. Certain versions of MSPaint can do jpg... others can't. As a last resort, you can post files as bmp but they are excessively large files and they won't display... only downloadable files.

See if your MSPAINT can open a jpg file. If so, resize using the stretch and skew function. just make sure you stretch both directions the same percentage or your picture will get distorted.

There are other, better ways, but they will require a 3rd party program.

I like to use Adobe Photo Deluxe myself. I got my copy free as it was bundled with an HP scanner I bought a couple of years back. You can do a search on Ebay for it and can buy it for between $10 and $20.

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.
