I've been trying to find out how to re-size images stored in Picasa so that they can be posted on UK Butterflies.

First attempt:

What a palaver!

Another go:

I sympathise, Rob. I've been messing round with this for over 2 years and still haven't perfected it.

Patience is key.

Last one. Some people are able to put in larger images, don't know how yet:

David,

so glad to hear that it isn't just me alone in the deep space of IT ignorance!

Last one. Some people are able to put in larger images, don't know how yet:

Because they don't host them on UKB. They provide a link ( using the img tag) to the image hosted elsewhere.

Would it be possible to have a "posting for dummies" article on the site as I struggle with the IT know how sometimes (okay a lot of times) too and would like to post larger images as well?

apologies if I'm teaching egg-sucking but your photos, in the above tests, enlarge if you click on them.

They may need a further click on the + sign to reach the original size, depending on the size of your own computer screen. The small-scale version is simply designed to fit into the blog pages.

I think I'll update the FAQ since, while it exists, it doesn't answer some basic questions. In the meantime, I just searched for "posting large images" and this thread seemed relevant:

Cheers Pete, I'll have a look at the suggested thread.
