To resize your image or gif..........

You do this by placing your mouse on one of the little blank squares around the image. When a double ended arrow appears, hold down the mouse button and drag in whatever direction you want. To the center will decrease the size...away from the center will increase the size. The center squares will either make the image taller...shorter....thinner or wider. You will just have to work with it until you are familiar with how to resize.

5.   Then you will click "Browse" to find your pic on your computer.
