Fotopic can resize images for you if you specify the desired width in the URL. Try this address instead for 250 pixels wide:

Or Andrew's suggestion of 150 pixels:
http://images.fotopic.net/?id=42670683&outx=150

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Use a photo editing package, some have functions that allow you to re-size the picture or save "suitable for web use", nice car BTW! very smart.

Thanks, the picture is a bit poor. I have some better images I'll have to try and re-size them.

When you copy the image address, if it says &noresize=1 delete that bit, then put &outx=250 on the end. The number tells it how wide to make the image.

Feel free to use it if you want to, if not. no skin off my nose :D

bigginger.com/images/new_sig.jpg is the URL, though, as I said, you'll need the http:// on the front.
