My photo was TOO TOO BIG. What happened?

[nancie h]

Okay, so I'm creating a new website and I'm still just putting it together.
I was moving my photo from my desktop to my website as a top photo
and it got bigger than the web page.  I've used this photo before.
What do you think happened? Thanks so much.  Nan

Some times we forget to look at the formating or amount of pixels in the photo.

maybe the two photos look the same and we forget that there is a copy that we resized.

I posted a photo that got resized in a folder where I had a gimp file that I resized the photo for to print on t-shirts.

i accidentally posted this other file to one of my websites and the photo was huge.

So I took it down and reposted it to the sidebanner.

Now I and going to resize it and then move it back to the main page.
