Hey Barb,

Not sure exactly what you mean by "shrink" so am offering suggestions for both resizing and optimizing to reduce file size without affecting image quality.

Resizing an image can be done with Paint on a Windows OS computer or by Google searching for a free online option (see screen print #1 below...).

There is training available regarding resizing images. See screen print #2 below...

You can optimize your images using tinyjpg.com before uploading your image(s) to your website that should have Kraken installed: Kraken Image Optimization Now at Wealthy Affiliate to finalize optimizing.

After optimizing your images on tinyjpg.com you could convert them to be webp files so that they will be even tinier in file size, yet of great quality. It is my understanding that the WEBP format is the near future for images IF you want your pages to load quickly.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you, Trish!
That is exactly what I meant!
I have just figured out how to download my pictures from camera, so now this is the next step!
Appreciate your usual, great tips!

Lily, I think it was your post that had me go back to site content for blogs.
Question?
Can we add any tag words, like we can from WA blogging position?
I ended up copy to WA, and posting from there instead of Site Content.
Also. When I went to publish, I didn't get a place other than my website.
Can we publish directly to WA blog?
Any help, is appreciated, Lily!
Thank you,
Barb

Yes, it's easy to post directly to WA Barbara.

Click on your own small picture (top right-hand side) and a list will drop down which includes your Blog. Click on that and you will see any blogs on WA that you have done and a button to add a new one. In there you can add a title, image, and text and it will publish directly to the WA blog.

Hope this helps.
Lily

Yes, you can post straight to WA.

Click on your little picture (top right-hand side) and a list will dropdown. Then click on My Blog and in there you will see a button to add a new post.

You can add a title, images, and text and then at the bottom tags. Once you publish it will go straight on the WA blog.

Hope this helps.

Lily

Thanks Jeff I'll try that now 😀

I hope it works out for you as it has for me, Hilary!

It's a glitch on my mac - no prob with YT!! Seems to be OK when I change my speed setting to 1.5 and then back to normal. I usually find solutions to the problems in my strange new and old universes thank goodness!

May be a computer problem maybe you need to take it to the Apple Store

Hi Steven Thank you for the tip. I am on a mac and seemed to have resolved the problem but it's just returned tonight.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think that if I don't get it sorted tonight I will contact support

Thanks for replying. I have resolved this problem - don't ask me how -but it's fine again

Thanks Marion I am just using the Command+f and replacing manually at the moment

Thanks Akollor -that's a great place to find the mac shortcuts that I didn't know about

Thanks Marion. Support have got my website back for me. Think I need to learn about CSS because my lack of knowledge on that subject was the cause of the problem in the first place.

thanks Marion I've done that

yes I did that but it didn't help - thanks for your help I have contacted support so I'll let you know what happens

Thanks Frank

Have you tried to reset your password on WA and then try again?

Accessing your site and using google console on it are two separate issues. Your site is coming up as a blank page for me as well. Have you created content for it and published the pages?

yes It's been up for a long time and has about 12 posts on it
