You need to do something about the size of your image files. They take forever to load. Very annoying.

I have resized them and made them smaller. My screen shows a normal picture, but my desk top shows an enormous photo. Know what I can do to fix this?

ok, your pictures are still huge.

I think that what you have done is to change the size that the image is displayed on the page, rather than change the actual image file itself.

What you need to do is to open the original image files on your computer, resize them, and then reupload them to the site.

I’ve done this and same issue. Can you look at the most recent blog post? It looks normal on my screen. its at the lowest quality and it is taking forever to upload the site. any suggestions?

You just don’t seem to get it.
Here is the data about your very first image:

Filesize – 272.07 KB (278596 bytes)
Dimensions – 2400px × 3000px (scaled to 450px × 563px)

This is a HUGE image.

What everybody was trying to tell you: open the image in an image editor on your computer, resize them and after that re-upload them.

And the comments work. (just added a test comment)

I have resized the photos. I don’t know how else to do it. I have made them small and low quality to help with uploading. I am using photoshop cs2 any suggestions?

okay I’m going to go in and resize these another way and try it again

Is this small for you?
2400px × 3000px

Small means something like 400-500px wide; no wider than your content div in the blog!

i am in photoshop. what is a good size to make them. I understand what you mean now. what image size in pixels is good for the web?

Look at the response above yours. Moshu already answered your question.
