I have been trying for an hour to upload photos of a family of Curlews nesting on the edge of the street where we are staying in
Cairns.
I can get into the 'insert image', but it tells me I must have 'upload files'.
I have been trying to upload from my picture folder but it doesn't work.
What step or steps am I missing?

An easy way to resize pictures without getting a special program to do it is use Windows.
Select all the pictures you wish to resize and just use the option to email them.
Outlook will come up with a dialog box to resize your pictures for email - It you choose Medium size that gets them to somewhere around 120kb and a good size to upload.
It will then put them in as an attachment to email -
You then go to File and Save Attachment Option and save the resized pictures, you can now upload these a lot easier.
After you have saved the attachments just delete the email draft :-)
No special program required if you do it this way
Cheers Tony

If you have MS Suit you can use "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"
Picture>Compress Pictures

I second Tony's way. I email them to myself and then save them to a folder called "Resized photos" under Pictures. I'm using Windows Vista and I keep them in that folder cause sometimes you need them again in the future. Regards, Bob

Use Imageshack, that site has resizing options without having to fart around doing it yourself.

I've talked to my son and he's reminded me(seniors moments I have them too often) that he set up a picasa for me to upload the photos (years ago) so that I could share them as
well as having an online backup.
Below is a link to the photos of the curlews that have nested on the side of the street.
Have a close look at the bird on the gravel and you will also see the baby lying flat out just in front.
