You need to use a tool like Paintshop (free, often bundled with new PCs), The Gimp (free, as in beer and in speech) or Photoshop (costly) to save the images with more compression. In brief:

1. Download and install the Gimp (Gnu Image Manipulation Program)
2. Open your big photo in The Gimp.
3. Right click on the image and choose Save as
4. Give it a new name, ending in .jpg
5 A new dialog box will appear where you can set the percentage compression - more compression means a smaller file size. The file size will also be shown. Aim for under 1mb, the web is a low-res medium (72dpi) so you won't be losing much.

You'll need to be a member to upload stuff.

Windows XP powertoys has a nice utility for shrinking images. Unfortunately, they ditched it for Vista :roll:
