You need to resize before you add a pic. Here is the easieat way I know. Go to the start menu, then to programs, then accessories, then paint. Go to the file tab, open the file where your pic is at (you should be able to see it on the screen now). Click on image tab and then click stretch/skew.... then make the h and v 30, each. Save that "new" pic and then use that to post. That was suggested to me, and I will pass it on. It works, and is simple----its a program that comes with the puter too. HTH
