Sorry to b1tch, but simple web ettiquette when you post…

Please add attributes to your images when you post them. Before your src in your img tags, add a width="500" or less value. This will resize your image and keep the site readable. Otherwise it blows up the page.

Sorry to whine, but this is the second time this week. It works even better when you resize them on your own computer first before uploading them because it allows for faster page loads to have a 100k jpg file than a 1.5m jpg.

I’m just sayin…

For you folks on the reader blogs, the upload utility you use has an auto re-size feature. Just select the size you want and then hit upload.

Easy to use online resize tool. Perfect for people who are tech amateurs. Give it a look.

I’ve worked in a pro photo labs to pay my way through college. Photoshop, photoshop, photoshop. I size photos in my sleep, but if I ain’t getting paid, I generally don’t resize them. Sorry. If you guys all want to chip in, I can punch in, size them, and punch back out. Let’s say $25/hour. It won’t add up too quick, I’m fast. Hell, I’ll resize your photos for you for a small fee… and get rid of those zits for you while I’m at it.
