May I add, as the site does not necessarily explain resizing as a total specific.
For use on a forum like this - the picture size in pixels needs to be if possible kept to under 800 pixels max in largest dimension. If someone is only running 800x600 res' which is admitedly not so common now, even then the pic will be bigger than their display screen!
I try to keep my max at 700 pix width or height max. a good standard dimension most people can choose in pre-set resizing options is 640x480 and that'll be enough for most things.
Another downside of monster pics is file size. I usually compress my pics even of 700 pix max size down to about 60k as a JPG - this will not degrade image much at all to the observer.
Very often we have pics of 1280 x 1024 and bigger - lightly compressed and being perhaps half a meg big!! Even on fast connections this is a large burden and for dial-up folks - seriously slow.
So - around 640x480 and 50 to 60k is great, for everyone - apart maybe from odd times when a scanned page for example,or similar needs shown, which is a special case.
