You don't have some sort of photo editing software? Either came with your camera or printer?

If you're using XP or Vista--after loading the pics onto your computer, got to My Pictures. Click on a picture to open the file. At the top of the new window, there should be an "Edit Picture" button/tab. Click it, then click on "Compress Picture" option on right. Click the radio button for "Document"-sized files--that size works pretty well here.

After compressing, don't forget to "Save". This will take a multi-MB file down to 200-500 KB, that is well under the limit for posting most places.

Years ago I got this free software. At some point I paid $10 to upgrade so I can change formats.

I'll second the use of Irfanview, there's directions for using it here: How to Resize Images

You can do single images or whole batches of them.

What's the size limit?
