Use a photo editor?

If you don't have one I guess you could download the Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) which is open source.

I think you're referring to shrinking an image by forcing it smaller with
the <img> tag. This causes terrible rendering. Like Mark says, use a
photo editor to make it smaller. Or, to be more specific, make two images.

One is the full-size and one is a smaller (or thumbnail) version. Upload both
of them, each one has a different filename and use the thumbnail for the
link, when clicked, will display the full-size image.

For more advanced designers:
If you have any server-side programming experience, you could use an
automatic image manipulation tool offered by most webhosts, called
"imagemagick" ... this automatically resizes image on-the-fly. Somewhat
more advanced, but is nice to create thumbnails with only one uploaded
image.
