FB should actually tell you what to do. I can't remember what you ned to to do sorry. But maybe upload one and then see if they give you some instructions. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I use a program I downloaded years ago, it's super easy. It's called Irfanview and I downloaded it free at www.irfanview.com -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

The easiest way for me to resize photos is to open them up in Microsoft Paint, which is on 99% of all computers. Along the top where the menus are, go to image, then stretch/skew. It's the second option down.
Where the options are for horizontal and vertical, change them from 100% to 50%, which halves the file size. If you go smaller, say 25%, it would make it a quarter of the size. It's instant and means you don't have to upload them somewhere first like photobucket, which takes ages, and then resize them from there. Just save afterwards and you're done! Big ups to irfanview as well. That program is awesome. |

Right click, go to open in, then choose paint then do the rest as described above! ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
