darn. The code had worked in scaling down the pictures at all the other sites I posted it at. Sorry about that. If it's not too much trouble, it might be worth it to just remove the pictures from this article, they're pretty distracting. People can see the article with reasonably sized pictures at dncdisruption08.org

Also, there are some other convention related events coming up that were accidentally left out (there's so much happening!!) the Queer/Trans Convergence in Chicago April the weekend of April 5th and the Unconventional Minnesota consulta taking place March 1st.

People should never rely on code to resize pictures.

The best way is to submit pictures, or link to pictures, that are 650-700 pixels wide or less. You can always turn pictures into links to larger versions.

When people don't take the time to submit their photos properly, they end up messing up the layout. It also creates more work for volunteers like me. I may get around to approving this kind of story just minutes before I have to leave the house for work, errands or other stuff. I'm at our infoshop right now. I don't have Photoshop and its just too damn cold for me to fire up Gimp and mess with resizing these pics. So they won't get resized for a few more hours.

Don't take my comments personally. I'm pointing this stuff out to raise awareness among people who submit stories to websites.

Thanks for submitting this!

Chuck
