Spanish wet bar...

This is a wet bar I designed and fabricated for a customer who bought a few pieces of mexican furniture at auction. They wanted the rest of the kitchen and wet bar area built around and styled to match those pieces. This was the result. (Hopefully I attached the picture correctly - my first attempt at it.)

Have a great and safe weekend!

Steve,

You attached it correctly but it is so small that it is hard to see anything.

I'm trying to learn how to size my 1.6MB photo to a 11KB or 800x600. I'm better at sizing wood, I guess. I've seen other guys post nice sized pix...... I guess there's a learning curve that's a little above my head so far.

Thanks.

Steve welcome to the forum.

I was in your position not long ago but with help from people on this forum I am pretty good with the picture process. I resize mine to 800 x 600 if they are taken horizontally and 450 x 600 if taken with the camera in the vertical position. Also if you use the attachments in the top of the box to attach them they will automatically show.

You still load them through the manage attachments block but then just close it out and click on the box circled. You will need to have the cursor in the position that you want the picture to show.

What program are you using to resize?

An easy way to resize photos is to use IrfanView at http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

After downloading and installing, open the photo you want to resize with IrfanView, click on "Image" in the menu bar, then click on "Resize/Resample," and then pick which size you want, say 800 x 600 Pixels, and select "OK." After resizing, I typically give the photo a new name using the "Save As" option and save to my Desktop. That way it's easy to find for uploading to the forum.

IrfanView also has lots of other features you may be interested in.

I'm using "VSO Image Resizer". It's a great freeware resizer and I've used it well often. Just interfacing with the sites requirements was causing a pea-brain fart senario.....

I'll give your kind instructions a try, thanks.
