If your image is 100 x 100 but 5.1 kb.... it's to big.

I suspect that "or" should be an "and". I believe I've tried using 100x100 images that were larger than 5 kb and I couldn't use them until I reduced the resolution to get them under 5 kb.

Can I reduce the resolution on existing pictures? (How?)
Do I have to go retake every photo with my camera manually set on a lower photo quality?

(Tried Microsoft Office Picture Manager, and PhotoBucket)
Edit: Don't know how I got my image to work, but whatever.
