pic size

[gerbie]

Since I've got so many clever friends here, I might as well pop another question. How do I make pictures smaller. I've got some nice pictures uploaded to my photobucket, but if I use it in my LJ here, it remains a huge pictures, certain to screw up friends pages everywhere.

Who can help?

There are other options. You have a paid account, so you could upload your photos to LJ. Some photo sizes (like 640x480) can be scaled down to a more manageable size, but some can't. That feature is somewhat limited. One nice thing about using that is that it's easy to post pictures to your LJ.

If you want to use the height/width HTML tags, you could do this:

<img src="http://media.venda.com/bbcshop/ebiz/bbc/invt/ebbcdvd1692/REDDWARF7_DVDlrg.gif" height=25% width=25%>

which would give you this:

Thanx, that was exactly the tag I needed!

Keep in mind that using that tag doesn't change the file size, so depending on what size you originally started with, it will still be a large file to download. It's really better to resize the pictures on your computer before uploading.

I already uploaded them, resizing might affect the quality as well. I know it takes a bit of bandwidth, yet I hardly ever use pictures, so I think I like the quality to be good.
