Easy Online Image Resize

Sometimes my clients need an easy way to modify the size of their digital photos in order to use our Content Management System, Wordpress. The easiest way to do this is to use the website Resizr.

Once at the website, click “browse” and choose an image from your computer just like when we were adding one to your website. The next box is for width. About 700px would be good for a large picture, 350px for a medium and 150px for a small picture . Click “Resizr” and wait about 10 seconds. A page will come up with your picture on it. You need to save this picture.

You can save any picture from anywhere on the web by simply right clicking on the image, and then choosing “save picture as”, and then choosing the where to place it on your computer. This is the same way you will grab the newly resized picture.
To use this image in your website, continue with these directions -

Once you have saved the new picture somewhere on your computer, just go into Wordpress, and into the page you want to add the picture to, browse down to the upload box, choose “browse” and fill in the description and title, then click upload, and then make sure the radio button “thumbnail” is selected. Click upload to browser and there you are.

To limit the number of posts on a certain page, follow these instructions

In your template file’s index.php, right above the line “ “, insert this code:

query_posts(”showposts=5″); ?>

where showposts equals the number of pages you wish to post.
