Hi Larry,
Welcome aboard.
Microsoft has a handy tool (free download) called Image resizer.
Once it is installed all you have to do is right click on the image and a menu pops up. Select resize and small, it will then create a small copy of the original that is easy to post.
the mirosoft web site for the free download is here.

scroll down on the right side and find "ImageResizer.exe " click on it and follow directions.
