Posting Pictures
I have just tried to post a couple of photos but they were much too large. are there any suggestions for how to reduce them. I am using a thing called "Deviant Art" as my son tells me this is the one to use.

I don't know how "deviant art" works (that is to say, I don't know if you can reduce the size of the images with their tools), but you could post links here to your photos there. If you're on a Mac, you could reduce the images in either iPhoto or Preveiw.app
