I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.
I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.
By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

Every time i try to add a photo, i resize it, and everything and it says its too big.
whats going on?
When it says that a file is too big, it means the file size, not the dimensions of the photo.
If your photo is in an uncompressed format (for example, .bmp or .tif), it will have a large file size even if it is a small photo. Change it to a JPEG or a PNG and it will have a smaller file size.
You can do this with any image editing program.
If you don't have one, here's a program specifically for converting BMPs to JPEGs.

Alternatively, you can download the GIMP at http://www.gimp.org. It allows you to edit image files and also save them as different formats.
If you don't want to download anything, Microsoft Paint will work, but if that's what you're using, save it as a PNG (open the file, go to File > Save As..., and choose PNG in the drop-down box under the place where you put the file name) because JPEGs saved by Paint are usually of a low quality.
