MS only does what MS wants to do, and usually not like anyone wants it done;). I use Photoshop to resize, then upload to photobucket. The main reason for this is that photobucket will automatically resize to all different sizes and takes forever if you are uploading and having it do the work (I'm anal and like my pictures to be the same size when scrolling through them in a post). If no PS, photbucket will do it all for you and make linking a lot easier. There are other photo hosting sites, too.
