J, try this. I am inserting an IMG link to your picture in your album. It should function the same as embedding the image while.
1. Only making you upload it once.
2. Negating the secondary size restriction.
** Note: I agree with Jim that you should resize it to somewhere between 600-750 pixels wide prior to uploading to your album.
**
To do this...
1. Post the image to your album
2. View the image FROM your album full size
3. Right click and select 'Properties'
4. Copy the URL reference by double-clicking on the address and hitting Ctrl-C.
5. Insert an Image tag (IMG and /IMG with brackets) and paste the URL address between them. Here is an example with parentheses instead of brakets.
