load them up to photo bucket first then link them

Load them up into Paint (or any other image application, they all do it, but Paint comes free on Windows) and then choose 'Stretch/Skew' and type 30% (or whatever) in horizontal and vertical. Then save the file again. File size will now be much smaller than before and you can upload the pic to photobucket or whatever for linking onto here.
