How do you shrink pictures to upload?

Any decent graphics program will resize photos. My favorite is IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com very powerful, compact, and free.

A simple Windows resizing add-on can be found at http://imageresizer.codeplex.com

If those do not float your boat, you can also use online picture resizers like http://www.picresize.com

Resizing to 1024 pixels on the longest side usually does the trick and still gives you a large image.
 
I use Microsoft Paint.Its under Programs/Accessories/Paint on Windows. Then Open your picture, go to Images/ Stretch/Skew, Make the Stretch entries 25/25 or thereabouts, then Save As.Reduces my pics to around 150 Kb for easy posting.

The easiest way I found is to EMail pictures to myself. It asks me what size I want to send and I choose medium, received, saved...... ready to post. Medium enlarges to a nice size too.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I went ahead and downloaded irfanview, not realizing windows paint could resize pictures.
 
IrfanView can do a lot more than resize. It is my only photo and image processing program, and it does not make a mess of your computer. It will actually run off a thumb drive so you can load it on a thumb drive with photos and run it from any computer. Great for slide shows.
