Please, whoever is maintaining the Wikinews Reports blog, resize the images properly - dragging them in Blogger is not going to actually change the physical size of the image, and will mean that Planet Wikimedia will show them in their full size (not to mention the bandwidth requirements).
If this keeps happening I _will_ have to remove the feed from the planet aggregator. :-(

ok ive fixed this now. sorry about this again erik.
note to all bloggers- easy way to make the images stay small.
1) Choose pic and use wiki to size to an appropriate size ie [[Image: Foo.jpg|250px]]. 2) Right click the image and select properties or send image. 3) Find the hyperlink that has a size in it ie -> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Foo.jpg/250px-Foo.j... 4) Use this link in blogger ie Click the add image button and post that in the upload from url as usual
Thanks and sorry erik

hi erik
i have definately fixed this - the image is now from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Whitney_cunningham.... this is obv a smaller image. i think its probably just not been re-aggregrated by planet - not sure if this can or cannot be done.
again sorry for the problems and hopefully this thread will be read by all bloggers.

No - you've changed the image that is being _linked_ to, but not the image that's being _shown_. The image embedded into the actual post is still full-size, and only resized through HTML.
