Hi James - when we first went to this software, our fearless leader Photo-John did a quick tutorial: How to post photos.

600 to 640 for the long side of the picture is a good idea, it's all you need and everyone will be able to see it on their screen without scrolling - and won't take forever for dialup users. I do it differently, by re-sizing to 600x400 (or 600x450, depending on camera) and saving with a compression of "8" in Photoshop. Either is fine.
