There is more than one way to "skin the cat" but, this is how I do it:
I select a picture that I want to post and open it in MS (Microsoft) Paint. Up top, in the tool bar, there is an option to "resize".
Depending on the size of the file (in KB or MB) select a percentage of the original. Most of the time, 20-25% works OK for my pictures. The goal is to get the file size under 500KB. This is the maximum that will be allowed to upload.
Save it. I alter the file name in order to preserve the original. For example: The original picture's file name might be 100_123. I save the smaller picture as 100_123a.
When you go to post the picture, just click on the icon of the "tree with the arrow" to upload the picture. Then follow the prompts.
It's a little extra work to post a picture but, we all like them.
PS- I am using Windows 7.
