..... Open Paint -> Look at the toolbar -> Image -> Stretch/Skew -> Type in a number.

I use Paint. When I have it at the size I want for my background picture on my xanga, I save and upload it to either Imageshack or photobucket, but the problem is that when it's done uploading, it's really small or- on imageshack- it won't upload it b/c it's to big. I just started making layouts and wanted big backgrounds. Can anyone help me please?

Sure. biggrin.gif The layout I'm about to make is this picture:

Is that all you needed? My 'layout site' is:

http://www.xanga.com/irresistible_layouts

Let me know if you need something other than that.

anyway, i use paint (cos i'm poor, cant affort photoshop), then do stretch/skew, then do like %200 on stretch part.

the pic is so small and that's why it's blurry when i tried to make it bigger.


[edit]
i upload that pic on photobucket and it's fine... it's 68.2 kb, or u have too many pics on photobucket?

u can also try geocities...

just a reminder, dont double post... happy.gif those xanga staffs dont like that
