If you upload a picture to pelican for everyone to see, then pelican automatically reduces the size to be no wider than 800 pixels. If you find a picture on the internet that you want to post, and you post the link to the picture from where ever you found it on the 'Net inside the [ img ] [ /img ] tags, then pelican can't resize it.

The upside to uploading the picture to pelican is that it'll never be too big. The upside to NOT uploading the image to pelican is that Wayne doesn't have to buy as many hard drives to hold all of the random images, and we don't use Wayne's bandwidth when we pull up the page with the image because we are pulling it from someplace else on the 'Net.
