No, just emailing them to yourself won't do anything. If you have them on your computer you should be able to edit them in Paint(comes free on most computers).

I will watch for a PM.

Yes, Paint is the easiest if you have it.

My email is old, and has a limit to the inbox size... so Bens trick won't work for me. I just put the phone on the USB cable just like the camera. (Ok, not just like, since my camera takes a weird cable, but close enough.. )

I have them in Photo Gallery, which seems to have all kinds of bells and whistles and must surely allow me to do what I need to do before I put them in my computer photo files. There is a "resize" function that gives me several options from 640 (640 whats?) to 1280, but what does that have to do with KBs or MBs? As you can tell, I'm easily confused by this stuff.

No idea.

Maybe try resizing one or two and then go to the bottom of the mainpage to the "test" area and try and post a pic there. You can't just post a pic, you have to add some text. I just add any word in the text area and then hit the preview post button and see what happens.

Another trick I use is to take a pic of a bigger area than I want to post and then when I crop it to what I want to post it is small enough to work.
