I should have some good photos from today - I did 54 miles, which included an 1103 m (3618 ft) pass, and ended with my having to push the bike about 1 mile up the impossibly steep street leading into Arcos de la Frontera, where I am staying the night. It's going to be interesting going down those cobblestone ramps tomorrow morning!

You have two options:
1. Reduce the size of the picture using whatver software you might have to less than about 100K, and, using the "Go Advanced" feature at the bottom right of the "Quick Reply" screen, upload them directly to BFN and the message you are writing from your computer. A good free easily availabl graphics program for this is Irfanview
www.irfanview.com recognized world-wide as an excellent graphics program. Simply resize the picture under the "image" tab (about 800x600 pixels), and then save as a jpg file, choosing about 75% compression - you will see the slider on the right as you go through the save process. Then upload the pictures using the built-in program at BFN, under "manage attachments" under the "Go advanced" tab, as described above. They will then show on your BFN message as a thumb nail, enlarged by clicking on the picture.
2. Place your pictures on something like Flickr or another photo web services and, copying the enlarged picture (not the thumbnail) URL from the Flickr or other site - and they generally have a special place to copy the URL - and insert that into your posts using the "insert image" tab at the top of the reply area.
Or, I would be pleased to post a few pictures on BFN for you if you email them to me -

Hope this helps.
