Usually a picture that is smaller then 14 inches wide will optimize out to around 60KB which is well under our 100KB limit. If you don't optimize it you really will have trouble getting the picture to upload.
Not to get to where to get this program. You can usually find a copy of the older version 2 of Photoshop Elements on Ebay for about $20, which will do it just fine. (It's called "Save for Web"...)
Good luck... Guvner..

you can use the Windows XP Powertoy Image resizer. It is along the right-hand side of the page linked.

The image resizer does an edequate job for posting, and you have several sizes to select from (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and a custom (you type the dimensions)). You can also (advanced) choose to overwrite the original (not a good idea unless the original is a copy!).
My post just a few threads below "...posted for critical comments" was resized from the original using this tool, and I fail to see any artifacts worth losing sleep over.
Nice thing about the tool is you simply right click on a picture file you'd like resized, select "Resize Images" and select your options before the resizing proceeds. You can also select a group of pictures to be resized, all of them will be resized according to your one chosen preference.
Photoshop or another high end tool will do a better job, even allowing you to select the method used to resample the image, but for the short term, the FREE (powertoy) is a great tool. I own Photoshop, but for posting I almost exclusively use the Image Resizer Powertoy. Fast, convenient, free.
