Terry R. Hatfield 		  Hi Susan! This Is The Correct Sizes;
Saved as a JPEG, TIFF, BMP, or PING file type.
Sized to no more than 500 pixels on the short dimension. For example:
500 (w) x 750 (h) for a vertical image.
750 x 500 for a horizontal image.
500 x 1250 or so for a vertical panoramic image.
Preferably 72 pixels per inch.
Less than 2.5 MB. Files larger than 2.5 MB are not accepted.
The White Borders Are Put On By BP:-)
In Inches That Would Be About A 2x3 I Think?

Michael H. Cothran 		  Susan - the short answer to your question is YES.
4x6" @ 72ppi is just about perfect (in my opinion).
As you know, BP allows up to 500 pixels on the short side for posting on their site, but the problem with an image that big, is that you cannot view the entire image without having to scroll up/down and/or sideways. In my opinion, this is a real distraction.
A 4x6 image will eliminate scrolling. I use this size, and even smaller on my own website.
