OK, Santa brought me a digital camera,so I want to post some pics here.

I created myself a Photo galley here but I'm having problems uploading.I browse to the file, click to upload, function bar fills(slowly,I'm on dialup) but when it gets to the end, nothing happens,no message that the upload is complete, nor error message. But there is no photo in the gallery. Tried 3-4 times, different photos,same result.

Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Gallery FAQ is pretty useless.....

Thanks.

Do you get a error code that your pic is to big?
You can't upload a pic biger than 150kb on the photo gallery?

No error code, but my pics are way bigger than that,I just checked. But why do they give you 10 MB free, but you can't use more than 150 kb??

I'm really new at this digital stuff, do you know how to reduce the size of the pics' files? Because they are all over 1 mb and that seems huge.

If you have Windows XP and use Outlook Express for E-mail you can just email the picture to yourself, and it asks you if you want the picture original size or smaller for email. Just make it smaller, then save your own picture to My Pictures and upload it from there to the kingsnake gallery. Otherwise, you can put the original picture in Paint and that gives you the option to resize it smaller, but that takes more time.

Also make sure you are saving the original photo as a jpeg, and reduce the size as Shannon said to about 50 - 75 k.
