How small does a picture have to be so it will upload? I've reduced one down to 18kb and I'm still being told it's too big.

I am pretty it has to be less than 10kb and no more than 60x60 (that is configuration of what I have used).

ujb Looks like they are all small. I heard of a website that will downsize pictures for free. Insta size.com that may be one word or all small letters,I never went there but I wrote it down. Seems to me you can look at your personel profile and it tells you how large the photo may be.

You can also do it with Paint that comes free with Windows.

It's 31x24 and 18.6kb.

I tried reducing it again but it still says 18.6kb. Doesn't make sense to me but that's what the picture info says.

Thanks Roger.

I sent them both to Amy last night. It was easier to send an attachment from someone in my email contacts list.

Huzzah!  It is done!

Just as an FYI - The file wouldn't go down to the necessary size with the normal methods.  I had to strip the file of excess data generally used for printing purposes.  I'm not sure how to do that other than with photo editing software.  I'm guessing some of those websites that will do it for ya will strip the files of that info.  Anyhooooo... if anyone else has an issue getting a file down to 10kb or less and you're not comfy using one of those sites, just lemme know and I'll be happy to help.
