I think most people use photobucket.  I don't have a photo bucket, so I don't post pics. 
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.

photobucket.com  resizes most pictures automatically when you upload them.

imageshack.com is also good for resizing pics.

I am wondering if I am asking the wrong question, I want to make the size of the file smaller? or are we on the wrong page??

I open the image in Paint, change the size, convert it to a JPEG, and then put it in photobucket.

See?? Even Frank has it down. I tend to save mine as a .png because they are typically safer. That said, it really doesn't matter which file format one uses. .jpg or .jpeg are more universal.
