<p><b>New page</b></p><div>One suggestion for images is to make them smaller BEFORE uploading.<br />
<br />
Cel phones, tablets and cameras often produce a very large image (1500px X 1200px or some such) which will take up the full computer screen if not reduced in size. <br />
<br />
Although the website software can order the image to present itself on a page in a smaller size, if a site visitor clicks on the image and goes to the original, they'll be sort of blasted with the gigantic image in its original size. <br />
<br />
So why not take a few seconds and resize it before uploading? <br />
<br />
It's easy.<br />
<br />
I use "Paint" which comes with all Windows operating systems but there are many image handling applications which will do the trick as well.<br />
<br />
Right click on the image in your computer > Select "open with" > Paint.<br />
<br />
From the top select "Resize" > select 50% (to cut the image down to half its current size) > SAVE AS (give the file a new name if desired)<br />
<br />
Done<br />
<br />
Now upload the more reasonably sized image to the website.</div>Dl88008
