Have you ever scrolled down your blog and had it slow down by the photos?  It is probably because you have resized the photo.

There are two ways to over come this slow down problem.

If you use a  photo storage service like PhotoBucket or FlickR, choose the size that you want displayed from their service.  This way your photo will already be the right size before you put it into your blog.

If you aren't familiar with the photo storage interface (or don't want to take the time to learn it), you can re-size your photos before you upload them.  I like Google's photo software.  You can download Google's Picasa at http://picasa.google.com/.  This software will scan your whole computer and find all of your photos.  It also lets you easily crop, resize, fix red-eye, and adjust color and brightness.  It is easy to learn and use.

So, lets all size our photos before we put them into our blogs so that everyone can scroll our blogs without that jumpy effect that frustrates us all.
