Do you like fishing? I don't think I have the patience. :)

(Totally non related, but I've been wondering... Your images are all .gif, any particular reason you are using that format?)

Fenix: No, I don't have the patience for fishing either, although I have had a couple of nice outings deep sea fishing with my sons. Twice, lol.

I convert the images to .gif in Corel Draw, then re-size them. It just seems easy to me, I guess, probably because I use Corel for my business. I'm open to suggestions and always willing to learn, though.

OK. I asked because you currently have three blogs and, if they are on the same Blogger account, you'll exhaust your quota very quickly if you keep posting gifs. Your Kissimmee_LakeToho_Fishing_C.gif weights 1.15 MB, but when converted to .jpg (standard encoding) it weights 323 KB. Big difference.

I resize first to 1200 pixels and then save as .jpg standard. The average weight of my photos is ~300 KB.

Fenix: Thank you so much! I had no idea. I'll start converting to jpg tomorrow!
