Spiros, when you want to send pictures to post on your WIP page, here’s how to do it:
First of all, you must send the picture to me in an email — the blog doesn’t give you access to post your own. Sorry!
Second: If your file is too large, I have to spend a lot of time downloading it and resizing it before I can post it. I would really appreciate it if you would send me your pictures in blog-ready form. Here are the specs:
4″ wide
75 ppi (pixels per inch)
Or in other words, 300 pixels wide
(if your image resizing program asks for actual number of pixels)
JPEG format
(If the program asks you for type and quality,
tell it “Baseline”, not “Progressive,” and use quality level 5 or 6)
Any photo maniupation program will allow you to change size (It’s usually a function or a menu selection called “Image size”). And EQ will let you choose the size and format of an image when you export it.
To export an image from EQ: Go to File –> Export and follow the instructions from there. It will ask you what size you want it (follow the quidelines above) and where you want to save it on your computer. Once you have saved it, you can attach it to an email to send it to me.
With 58 of you sending me images, this will save me a LOT of time to — oh, I don’t know — WRITE?
Thanks for understanding! R.

Hi RaNae! I have 3 programs that resize images, none of them give me the options that you’re asking for. They do all let me size proportionally, and I usually make the longest side 599 pixels for email or web posting. If this isn’t the best size to send you, can you tell me how many pixels to make the longest side of the image? (Gee, I hope that question makes sense!) Thank you!

Julie, the answer to your question is 300 pixels wide (even if that isn’t the longest side). I’ve revised the instructions in the main post — thanks for calling this to my attention. R.
