I can only successfully resize with outside app.

I cannot figure out how to modify or resize images so that they can be uploaded to blog. Also, cannot figure out how to build a slideshow - only seems to allow to view a slideshow of existing photos.

Tried uploading then copying to Picasa, easy but then found Picasa will not work with Wordpress. Wordpress suggests Slide but that keeps shutting down browser as it uploads a photo. I have great photos that I cannot get various apps to share so that I can actually use them for the purposes intended.

User manuals are too geeky for entry level users like me and I don't do code, which are other workarounds I've found. I simply want to
1. take photos
2. upload to computer
3. crop or resize as needed to upload to blog
4. maybe have a slideshow function.

and maybe have this work? I'm not even going to ask about my HP photo printer that only wants to work Mac or Windows OS....anyone want to buy it from me?

Thanks,Jackie
