I have started going out now to take pics, and when I post them on here they are very big, some times too big, how do I correct this.

The image should be a max of 1024 (& max 500kb) on longest edge for upload here, your image above is correct and matches this :)

If they are too big for upload adjust the settings in your editing software during export.

You can use a resizing program or photo editor to reduce image sizes. A good FREE photo editor is Irfanview that's readily available for safe downloading on Cnet or several other sources. Just be certain to download both the program and the companion codec file. Always save your reduced image file under a slightly different name so the original full resolution file is maintained. I always add "LoRes" to the original name as the new name for this reduced file size version. Reduced DPI down to 72 will display fine on PC or video monitors. I usually reduce my files for posting to 4" X 6" and 72 dpi and this reduced "LoRes" version always post well.
