Why are my photos not uploading for the first time in two years?
-
I have had my blog for almost two years, and for the first time, WordPress gives me the following error when I try to upload photos:
Error DSC02759.JPG
DSC02759.JPG exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.I reduced the size of the photos in Picasa, and it still does not work. What changed to result in this error, and how do I fix it? It lets me upload a few photos, just not the majority of them.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

How much of your 3GB space have you used?
Look at Dashboard >> Home or in the Media Library

I just looked, and I have. Am I doing something wrong to have used up 3GB so quickly. I post a lot of pictures, but is it normal to use up so much space with just photos?

The first picture I looked at was 3.5 megs and 3,900 something wide – yes that burns a ton of storage and bandwidth – I gave up waiting for the front page to finish loading
Usually people scale the images down to around 150 kb max – the 4,000 wide is a waste given the average screen – I go down around 500 to 600 wide if I am doing pictures to display – once in a while on my history blog I will go up around 900 or so for a scenic
Timethief should have some info on how to scale images and programs to scale images
