bmom...I use picturetrail...I believe it resizes for you! You do have to upload it and then put it into an album and then get the URL number and copy and paste it in the message.
Let me know if it works any better for you. It is a free download and you can put an uploader on your desktop to help with the uploads.

I use picasaweb.google.com You don't need to download picasa to use, but you need a gmail address.

When I only have one or two pictures, I use tinypic.com

Thanks...I'll have a look.

photobucket is simple. You simply copy the URL, then past in your document. Couldn't be more simple.

Did you ever figure it out or do you need more assistance?

On the Garden Web tole painting site there is a tutorial on adding pictures using photobucket.The directions are not hard to follow. Since I am not a really computer savvy person if I can do it anybody can!! Good luck. I love these forums!

I have no time to do anything about it for the next few days, but thank you all for the suggestions...will tackle it after vacation in a couple weeks.
Vacation...what a lovely, lovely word!!!
