Got any advice on graphics in posts? (sh.itjust.works)

I just posted my first band interview with a bunch of pics.

I'm pretty sure my graphics, while definitely not hi-rez, are too big. I'm choking the system when I upload them, and they don't render during page view very well either.

I'm just taking pics with my crappy cell phone.
I upload them by opening the pic in MS Paint, select all, copy, and then paste it directly into the post.

Just given the results I've had so far, and my intent to post a LOT more pics, perhaps I should tune this process up.

How would you do it?

I came across these discussion threads in the Lemmy and Pict-rs source code:

It seems like automatic image compression might be something which could be configured in the pict-rs settings. Would one of the admins be able to chime in on the feasibility of this?

Um ... my other main instance is eviltoast.org, and ... well, I think my posts forced the admin to implement those very things. If we don't have the knowledge here, I could ask him.
