Personally, I hate this website. The majority of questions are either horribly worded, incredibly easy to answer on one's own with the use of widely available resources (including, but not limited to, www.google.com), alterations of a very common question, or a combination of the three. I confuse myself sometimes as to why I continue to read random questions, only to be to be driven insane by the utter disregard for the reader of the question. Maybe I just use this website as an outlet for my rage towards the section of teenagers who upset me the most, or possibly it is just ingrained in my psyche to read over poorly spelled questions to fuel my masochistic personality. I might even be staying here to prevent the overtake of this hapless corner of the internet by ignorant and lazy teenage girls that don't know how to say "yes" to someone who asked her out by the use of common sense and correct grammar.
I have, however, found that reading topic specific questions eliminates most of my frustration. Of course, that still doesn't stop me from running into unbelievably ignorant questions such as "does doing squats really make your theighs smaller?" in the INTERNET AND WEB DESIGN topic list.

Does anyone know how to make your picture smaller? I tried this one program Adobe Photoshop and zoomed out of the pic then saved it. But it was back to the normal size. Please Help!!! (link)

Why do you have photoshop if you have no idea how to even resize a picture? Just curious.
To resize in Photoshop:
(In the menu bar at the top)
Image -> Image Size...
Constrain the proportions of the dimensions so that your picture won't look distorted. You can then decrease the size of your picture from here, and then save it as a new, smaller file.
-------------------------------------------------
Seeing as that is a lot of work for a very simple task, try something like the XP Powertoys Image Resizer.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe
After installing, right click on a picture in a folder, and select "Resize Pictures." You can then pick a preset, common resolution, or if you really feel the need, make your own dimensions. Once you install this Windows update, you will find this to be the easiest and quickest way to resize a picture. You will also be able to select multiple pictures at once and convert them all at the same time to the same lower resolution, which is INCREDIBLY quick and handy, and saves loads of time.
Just don't delete your source picture(s), in case you want to print a high resolution photograph at a later date, because you are obviously not going to be able to resize a smaller picture to it's original quality.
Sidenote: If you intend to put the picture online, editing the html tag won't resize the picture, only scale it. Doing this can be a big mistake if you post source digital camera pictures, as a 5 megapixel picture scaled to 320 x 240 in an html tag will make for an incredibly LARGE download (upwards of 2 megabytes), when actually resizing to 320 x 240 will give you a file closer to .02 megabytes. Why is this important? Because for one, if you don't need to show such a highly detailed picture, then you shouldn't have a file that is. Also, you have to keep in mind that not everyone accessing may have a broadband connection. For a 56k user, this can be a wait time of 5-10 minutes to load a picture, when a properly resized picture will take even a 56k user a matter of seconds to download.
