    Hi,
    I just asked a question about what image sizes I shall upload to my blog but the email went to trash and instead of taking it to my inbox i clicked spam accidentally. Can whoever answered me please answer again.
    Shall I upload high or low resolution files as it seems I’ve run out of storage just after 14 posts last year.
    3,072 MB Space Allowed (Manage Uploads)
    3,013.02 MB (98%) Space Used

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello,

    “High resolution” is a term that has many meanings…but you should try to use “lower” resolution photos rather than “high” resolution photos on a web site.

    But it’s a complicated subject.

    I woul say that if you’re uploading images that are 5-7MB each, that is way too large.

    Not only will you fill up your space allotment too fast, but your pages will take a long time to load with large images.

    Here are some links that might help you:

    This is from wordpress.org, but the facts still apply:

    Here’s how to optimize your images…this was written for self-hosted sites, but the principles are exactly the same:
