the eisiest option I found was to use paint as follows

1 open image in paint & save as to a location of ur choice lets say desktop for now
2 click image then click sketch & skew
3 now change the % percentage to 80%
4 click save
5 Now go to desktop & hover mouse over file & the details will show if it shows 300kb or less then you are ready to post
otherwise repeat 3
or if you still have paint open click undo & then repeat 3

Hope this hepls................

Re-Size Images

Dougie I suggest we add this link to the file.

@ Purdie told you it was easy if you resize to a reasonable size usually 25% off the 100% size presumming it was showing as a full page immage i.e to big to sho weven in paint screen you are essentially seeking an image somewhere about 2- 4kb in size your even small image is still 99 odd kb i think all you have done is shrink the image not the file size
