Aye Caramba!!! El mucho grande el picture-o!!!

If anyone is having issues with imageshack, or photobucket try using "tinypic" .

Sometimes both photobucket, and imageshack linked pictures can bog things down taking forever to load up the images. So far haven't experienced that with tinypic...so far.

Also one other tip for resizing pictures, if you want to do it on your computer, but do not have access to Photoshop, Paintshop pro, etc... Then just use windows paint. Open the image in windows paint, then pull down the "image" menu and select the "stretch and skew" command.

Once that window opens use the stretch option and type in a % like 60% or something in both the horizontal, and vertical boxes to keep it in its original format and not all skewed and distorted looking.

Anyway the 60% was an example. Play with different sizes (remember if you do not like the resize then immediately click "edit", "undo", or using keyboard use CTRL + Z.) to find the size that works for whatever purpose you are manipulating the image for.

Just a couple tips for people who are new to posting pictures, but not sure how to resize, etc.

Pie.
