It may not be easy for a computer novice but here is what I do:
Open the full size photo off the camera with MS Paint. That is assuming you have a computer with MS paint.
Go to the toolbar at the top and select
Resize. It may say
stretch/skew on some versions of Paint.
Then resize by percentage. It will depend on what the original picture size is as to what you choose for a percentage. This site will allow a maximum of 256 KiB, what that really means in terms of picture size I don't know. I did a test and determined that a picture 900 x 650 pixels will work. Paint will tell you how many pixels it is at the bottom of the page. It will also tell you how many KiB it is after you save it. If you have a picture that is wider but not as tall or vice versa you can make it that way as long as you keep the size under 256KiB.
Then go to
file,
save as,
JPEG or JPG and choose where you want to save it on your computer. I usually save it to the desktop but you could put it in photos. Make sure the photo is named.
Then you post it here using the new smaller photo that you saved.
Your other option would be to use a photo hosting site and put a link on this site.
