  4. Hi Courtney - Don't worry about being a stalker, I actaully sort of recognize you, maybe from a class. I think it was one of those Architecture and Design ones.
    Anyway, my husband does all of the set up of the blog stuff, and it's kind of complicated. First, you have to widen your blog template to make room for the bigger pictures. Search "widen blog templete," and you can find the directions all over. Then, we always resize the pictures in photoshop (for verticle ones we usually do about 500x700px). AFter that we save them to photobucket (you could also use picasa), and upload from there.

    I know it's a long process, but you can email me and I can answer your questions more specifically: chelsea (dot) alder at gmail.com

    Good luck!

  5. Hey! You just have to go into html mode and find the 2 pixel numbers and size number at the bottom of the code, and double them. I'll show you how if that's confusing.
