Could someone help with some advice on how to do this properly?
Sorry, this took a little while to put together. I hope it helps. This can be tricky and it isn't easy or quick, as near as I have been able to determine, but I'll share some tips I have learned.
First, if you go to the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. page here, you will find a page called You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. In the list, you will find two codes for adding images to your posts, one for adding the image as is and one for adding the image and adjusting its size within the post. There is also a button in the post editor options for adding images that does the same thing but without making you write the code (the button may work better than typing the code directly). These codes work if you already have the image uploaded somewhere and can insert the image's direct link. The resizing height and width is done in pixels not inches or centimeters so you really have to play around with it to figure out the best resizing.
Here is an example, as is, from your link in your initial post this thread (on the linked page, I simply chose an image, right clicked on it to see the shortcut menu, and clicked on Open image in new tab to view the image separately and obtain its direct link):
![[Image: vmsplanets.jpg]](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oshfdk/f67r2planets/main/images/vmsplanets.jpg)
This of course is very large so you will need to resize. Here is what the same image is resized to 50 pixels width by 50 pixels height (obviously some adjustments are needed as the original image is a rectangle and the resized is a square and therefore skewed but you can use the Preview Post button to play around with the resizing until you have it where you want it before posting):

Alternatively, the direct link for this image shows me the picture resolution (in the browser tab/window title bar), which is 2500 x 1350. However, I found that this resolution is not the actual resolution of your image there. When I right click on the image in the direct image link and click on Inspect to open the DevTools window, I find the image is actually 1216 x 657 as uploaded to your site (but if you right click and save the image, it saves as 2500 x 1350). I can then calculate, say, 50% resizing, or 608 x 328 (not 328.5 as you have to use whole numbers) and get this:
![[Image: vmsplanets.jpg]](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oshfdk/f67r2planets/main/images/vmsplanets.jpg)
But none of these options give you the image size in inches or centimeters. So a final alternative is to resize the image on your computer first, using whatever image program you work with (I work with Windows Paint myself so I can resize by percentage and then check the inch size in the image properties), then use the post Attachments upload option to upload the image and insert the resized image in your post. If I save your image to my computer, it is 2500 x 1350 or 26.04 inches x 14.06 inches. When I resize down to 25%, it becomes 625 x 338 or 6.51 inches x 3.52 inches. I can also see the size in centimeters in Windows Paint instead.
