  Hi,
  I have never had a problem uploading images via “Insert an image from another web site” option. But today, I just cant get this to work. Usually, after I paste a link, i get a tick mark next to the url, but now its not happening. Also, I find that the “Insert into Post” button is not standing out as usual and hence not working either.
  Can someone please help?

  Try switching to HTML editor and put <img src="URL_of_image" />
  Does it help?

  You can resize your images after inserting them into a page or post. Click on the image and then grab one of the corner handles and drag to resize. Using a corner handle will retain the height to width radio and not distort the image.

  You can also resize images within the editor. To do this you can either click and drag the corners, click the little tree-in-a-box icon, or use the Code tab to edit the raw HTML. If you do the latter you can effect image resizing by changing the height and width tags within the image tag.

  This will give you the maximum sizes for images that can be used in posts without breaking your blog’s layout http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/
