Default computer idiot-posting a card

Hi,
I posted a card, but in the thumbnail print, it came out quite blurry. I noticed that many other cards were very clear. Also, I saw that my disk space used to send the card was 35 K and everyone else's was around 300. Is this the reason for the blurriness? What does this mean to a computer idiot? How can I fix things??

Thanks,:confused:

I jus went and saw your card--it is very cute! I don't know a ton about this, but I'll suggest a few things and I hope they help you. Before you scan a card, you can set the resolution you are scanning at--you would want a high resolution. When you are saving it, your comp should give you the option of how big a file you want--the default is not the best, go with 56 or so. Also, it really helps to crop your image--there should be a tool for that in your photo uploading program. Mousing over the icons should tell you which one. OK, thats is about all I know--good luck because I hope you keep the cards comming!

Don't know if you scanned or if you used a camera, but the higher the picture quality you take, the more space it takes up. You're probably using a lesser-quality "resolution" or quality.
