No problem Dave. Download VSO Image resizer and it will install into the menu when you right click on the picture you want to resize. Works a treat with lots of options. Use 800x600 for pictures to be uploaded to Mayhem.

If you upload photos into Flickr there is an online editing tools which includes re-sizing.

I find VSO is fine as it becomes a part of Vista and I can use it through Windows Explorer using the standard right click menu. No need to upload photos or run separate programs etc. dead simple to use and very quick.

If I want to do anything more complicated with a photo I do it in Photoshop Elements although there is plenty of freeware out there as well.

I also use VSO, in both Windows XP and Vista. It works very well, and as Colin says, is easy to use, either for single photos or for batch resizing.
