Got any advice on graphics in posts? (sh.itjust.works)

I just posted my first band interview with a bunch of pics.

I'm pretty sure my graphics, while definitely not hi-rez, are too big. I'm choking the system when I upload them, and they don't render during page view very well either.

I'm just taking pics with my crappy cell phone.
I upload them by opening the pic in MS Paint, select all, copy, and then paste it directly into the post.

Just given the results I've had so far, and my intent to post a LOT more pics, perhaps I should tune this process up.

How would you do it?

you don't need GIMP just to convert and resize images. Not sure what platform OP is on but there are plenty of batch image resizers and converters for any platform

I could have suggested ImageMagick as well, but we're clearly talking about some who's just barely scratching the surface on Windows and not about a *nix command line jockey.

As for Windows GUI apps, I've got no idea what there is in that field.

Ok. I'll probly start with gimp because I know it, and it will help me understand what I need. Perhaps some batch tool will ... um ... crop up.
