What software do you have for editing your photos? You need to either compress the files more or make the image dimensions smaller. Or both. I use the Photoshop CS3 "Save For Web" option when I save photos for the Web. It shows me how big the final file size is going to be and lets me fine-tune the image quality/file size. If you don't have Photoshop, you must have some software that let's you save your photos as JPEGs. When you save, choosing a different amount of compression will change the file size. More compression will give you a smaller image file with lower image quality. Play with your images to find out the best compromise.

Let me know if that answers your question. If it doesn't, please give me more information. I want you to be able to share on the forums :)

can anyone tell me the procedure for uploading my photo's i'm not having success tried several times .....JC.

If you're a PC user, then you can download the Microsoft Image Resizer PowerToy.
Right-click on an image and you can resize it to 800x600 from size menu.
Quick, simple, doesn't need Photoshop.
