I had to resize them in photobucket to medium but not on the original screen - I did each photo I was posting individually I think you click edit photos tab and they go into a sort of a reel and then a little grey tab should appear on the photo click into the photo and then it should give you more options and a tabs will appear on the photos and then you click the tab resize and when you click it and it will give you options - I picked medium clear as mud? sorry not to good at giving instructions! but I had to resize each photo - probalbly a quicker way but I am a bit challenged in the department!
