Recommendations

For better performance, it is highly recommended that the pictures you add to your post have the following characteristics:

• Maximum width: 650 pixels.

• Maximum height: 450 pixels.

• Density: 72 dpi (dots per inch).

Within these parameters, your pictures will most probably be smaller than 150 KB. Larger, heavier pictures will take longer time for you to upload and for your readers to download and view.
