alright how do I reduce this picture to a thumbnail that just links to the picture, like you guys have.  this picture is way too huge to be in every post.

Kind like that? 

Most of the photo image software out on the market will resize pictures for you.  I've used a package called PaintShopPro for many, many years.  Microsoft Paint will work (look for the Stretch and Skew option in the drop down menus) as will Microsoft Office Picture Manager to name a couple others I've used.

Nice lookin' ride...!!!    Have zipped through Bismarck many times on the way to and from Montana to visit our daughter.

  Hey Mike i love that street sign in the background, did you have something to do with that

actually no, that wasn't photoshoped...that whole area of town is named after classic cars or makes, like Dodge Dr.  and you should holler next time you're nearby, Norsky, we can cruise or somethin.

The next time I'm travelling through I'll give you a shout.  Let me know if you ever head for the Twin Cities.  Lots of good shows around the metro area during the summer time!
