Ok, I need a bit of help

I have a bunch of photos I'd like to post and I'm a little confused as to how to go about this. I understand using the command will set the up like I want them but my pictures are too small and generally look kinda crappy when I try to squish them down to under 100k file size that the system requires. I've seen galleries posted where you can mouse over the thumbnail and you get this really nice, large, viewable photo, but I can't seem to get that to happen. Please help!

Okay, first off your image problem. I suggest using a photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop which has a great "Save For Web" feature which will help keep the size less than 100K. The thumbnails you can do by using the "attach An Image" button at the bottom of the editing window.

Make sure you are using a good photo resizing program to shrink your files. As Axel mentioned, Photoshop is good but it's not free. If you can't "acquire" a copy of PS I recommend either Picassa or Irfanview. Both are free and do resizing well. You should try to aim for 800x600 as your reduced size. Most photos will still look good as 100k JPEGs at that res.

Or you can just host stuff on sites like photobucket or imageshack. They have free hosting, auto resizing, and even give you the link to hotlink onto this site.
