I have the following in my site faq to help users resize their photo with no need to use a graphics program to do so. It explains how to do it using reseize2mail.com with specific instructions and a screenshot. You would need to create a screen capture of the relevant section of the webpage and reference it in the code below.
[code:1]What is the easiest way to prepare a picture for upload?
The easiest way is at a website. You will need to follow the instructions here to get it done quickly.
<OL><LI>Click here to open this image resize site in a seperate window <BR>-> <A href="
www.resize2mail.com/?option=advanced" target=_blank>
www.resize2mail.com/?option=advanced
<P>Your should see the following on the webpage:
<P><FONT COLOR=RED>SCREEN CAPTURE OF RELEVANT PORTION OF WEBPAGE</FONT>
<P><FONT COLOR=RED><B>Note</B>: If you see a different set of options than the above display, try clicking the small text link called "on your own" right above the"browse" button.</FONT><P>
<li>Perform "Step 1" and select your image with the browse button.
<li><B><FONT COLOR=RED>IMPORTANT:</FONT></B> For "Step 2" type "200" in the <U>SECOND</U> box which has the text "I would like to make the image exactly this <B>width</B> in pixels!" above it. <U>DO NOT</U> type anything in the first box as well or your picture will come out distorted (and maybe wider - and none of us want that for anyone!)
<li>Click the "okay" button.
<li>On the next screen right-click the image and select "Save Picture As" (or something similar) to save the image to your hard drive.
<li>Visit your profile and click "update image" to upload your image.
<P><B>Note:</B> Unless you start with an extremely large image, your resized image should be well under the 75 Kb limit of YourSite.com[/code:1]
