Manipulating Pictures 

Camera and other images can be 1 mb or more. This is much too big to post on a website. They will take too long to download and use up a lot of web server disk quota.

To reduce their size use the software that came with your camera or computer. If you need software to do this, try the free JPEG Resizer utility here.

You can reduce the file size by reducing the image size and/or increasing the compression (reducing the quality). Once the file is small enough use Upload file to place it in the images directory on your web server. Using an images directory for all of your images is not required but it is a useful and common technique.
