I know how to post pics (I hope) but what size should they be to make it work nicely? I'll be using photobucket as the host.
 
i just upload my pics and use whatever they come up as...

i just checked and the default is 800x600 15" screen. that's the one i use. this means that the pics will fit most modern computer monitors well, and they aren't too huge or small.
 
Do you all use photobucket ? do other photo sharing sites work here as well ?
 
I don't like (impatient?) overly large pictures that take so long to load. If you look at posts that have good sized pictures that load fast (right click then select properties) most are 800x600. Pictures 640x480 a good too but don't fill the screen.
 
I too use PhotoBucket and usually size my pictures 940 x 612. It gives a large picture but not so much that you should have to scroll back and forth.

If anybody finds my pictures too large, please let me know.

I shoot or scan my pix at the highest resolution and save them to My Pictures. When I want to post them here, I open them on Adobe Photoshop and reduce them in width to 700 pixels, which seems about the right size for here. Then I open and post them from Tiny Pic Video And Image Hosting, here: http://www.tinypic.com/

It takes very little time. I think it's about as easy as PhotoBucket, which I have never had the opportunity to use.
