Hi all,

My husband and I just set up our first attempt at a family blog. Neither of us are particularly technically savy, but we are going to give it the old college try.

I tried to insert a picture into our banner and it came out HUGE! I was wondering if anyone here might be able to take a quick look at it and offer some advice on how to change the dimensions. We are using blogger.

Here is the blog site.

Thanks in advance,
Ryane

Ditto -- that picture is BEAUTIFUL!

This may help:

Online Photo Editing

After you've edited to the proper width and height, re-upload into Blogger.

If that still doesn't help, post again and we'll try to troubleshoot.

ETA:

This post from Love2LearnMom may be helpful too.

You have to shrink the photo down to X # of pixels before you insert it. It took me forever to figure it out. On Typepad, I resize the image in photo editing software to 770 pixels. Also, using a squatty image helps. But I agree BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks ladies...

I am going to try Stef and Jennifer's suggestions tonight and see what happens.

The picture was taken at a retreat center near where we live. They have an outdoor rosary walk and outdoor stations of the cross. Very pretty!

Stef -

You totally rock! That was my exact problem as well. Now my picture is MUCH better. Thanks.
