Hi Steve,

You will need to resize your images to individual file sizes of less than 500Kb, and make sure that they are saved as Jpeg. before uploading to WAB (Also unless they are fully and properly described, you will need to upload them to the Image Library, and not the Gallery. See here: - http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...tml#post657362 ).

Resizing is quite a simple process, but you will need some image handling software to be able to do it.

You might have Paintshop Pro, or Photoshop Elements etc., but there are lots of free image editing softwares available to be downloaded from the internet. (One such, that many people use is GIMP).

I personally use Paintshop Pro, and created the following post some time ago, to help someone having similar difficulty: -

Obviously, the instructions there relate specifically to Paintshop Pro, but the method will be similar regardless of which editing software you use.

Hope that helps.
Regards,
Mike.
