and while I've posted successfully in the past, this time I get:

Information
The image file you tried to attach is invalid.


Did I break the internet? HELP!

what is the file name you are trying to attach?

C:\Users\bruce\Pictures\2010_0829\DPP_0017.JPG

hm. can you save a copy of it and try to post the copy?

nope, just tried again, and the little green thinking bar filled up and stayed stuck at filled, with the whirly thinking cursor when i moused over. after hitting cancel on the photo load, and then writing some text which i submitted, it then replied that the image was invalid and wiped out the text

the photo is 7mb, but i dont know how to save it smaller....?

What photo editing software do you use?

windows photo gallery is what comes up when I double click a chosen picture.... I haven't a particular photo editing software...

I'm not sure if WPG lets you downsize images. For Internet sharing, all you really need is a file that is about 800 pixels wide and 72ppi, which would only be about 1/20th the size of your full resolution file.

Not that it helps in this instance, but I'd suggest getting Photoshop Elements. Not too expensive, and has a great batch processor that let's you create smaller versions of all your files in a folder in one batch. If you get it, I'd be happy to share my workflow document explaining exactly what to do.

Right-click picture resizer for XP
Right-click picture resizer for Windows 7 (3rd party clone)

Use one of the above depending on your OS. It's a great utility because it's always there. Just right-click on an image and pick a size. Preserve or overwrite the original at your discretion.
