images look too small

I uploaded images to my post and pictures are look too small. I have no idea how to make them look bigger on the web. I tried to download pictures with different sizes and images still look the same, small I mean.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you start with images that are larger than your column width, they will shrink automatically to fit in your column.
One option is to make the width of your main content area larger.
Images that are less than the width of your column will appear at full size. You can FORCE them to appear bigger, but that will stretch and pixellate them so that they won’t look good. (for example, stretching a 400px wide image to fill a 600px column will look bad).
If you want the largest images on your site to show up larger, increase the column width. Let me know if that’s your wish, and I’ll walk you through how.
If you want the smaller pictures to take up the full column, you need to start with bigger pictures: your default column is 604 pixels wide, so you you need images at least as wide or wider than that. If you are sourcing with google images, you can set a minimum width in your search.

By analogy you cannot park a mac trailer truck and semi trailer unit in a space that’s sized for Vespa parking.
You will find images you re-size after uploading into your WordPress.com blog lose some color and sharpness. Your will find that uploading over-sized images will become problematic in terms of wasting your media space allowance.
If you want the best image quality use an image editing application to re-size copies of your images to the specific dimensions required then upload and insert those copies. Prior to uploading any image into your blog, regardless if it’s a header image, a featured image, an image in a post or page, in a Post format (Gallery or Image), an image for sidebar display in an image widget or a text widget, you can optimize and re-size it in either a desktop image editing software or online image editing software to fit the space you intend to use it in.

Also note that many visitors to your site will be viewing it on tablets and mobiles not on big desktop monitors. The growth of mobile use shows no signs of slowing. A new report suggests by the end of 2013, there will be more mobile devices on Earth than people.
