Okay, 13 yr old DD explained it all to me, but I couldn't repeat her technical lingo if my life depended on it. So in a non-technical nutshell let me see if I can give you a small heads up as to what may have happened.

1) You could have resized it to small when uploading to your PC or this Web-site

2) Sometimes Pictures can show larger on your PC than they actually are.

3) Some Web-sites automatically change the size of photo's when uploaded.

I know this is not at all technically correct, and I do hope I understood my DD, but I wouldn't bank on it. I did try to view your pic's in the Gallery, however I really can't see them. Sorry if this is of no help, maybe someone else will see this and be able to answer your question.

I'm a computer tech, so let's see if I can help. What program are you using to resize your photos? They have a size limit here. The photo can't be more that 2 mb or 1500 pixels wide. So, when you edit your photo, find where you can resize it in the program you're using (you can even use Microsoft Office Picture Manager if you're using a PC). In most programs, it'll let you pick how you can resize it. For example, you can choose by inches, by pixels, etc... Just be sure it's less than 1500 pixels and you should be fine here! To see what size it is (the whole less than 2 mb thing), right click on your picture and choose properties. It'll show you the size that way. Hope this helps!

Chelle....I went and looked at your pictures. The ones I looked at were only 72 x 96 pixels wide. No wonder they're tiny! detective.gif
I think if you don't resize them down so far you're going to be fine. When I save pictures for my school webpage, I always make them 500 pixels wide. It seems like the perfect size for displaying on webpages. Lovely cakes, btw.....

I think the problem is that I copied the photos from my yahoo photos. I am at work and wanted to post my pics but don't have the actual pics on my work computer. I am going to try replacing the current pics with the ones I have on my computer at home tonight!!

Thank you all for your help!!!
