Pete,
Check which Size setting is selected next time you try to load a graphic. WP seems to keep whatever you used the last time and my suspicion is that this one was on Large.
This happened to me once and I swear I did not change the setting myself. Pfft.
Anyway, what you want is “Full Size” which makes the pic fill the column regardless of how much bigger or smaller the graphic actually is.
Large makes it too big. I suppose some weenie at WordPress had a reason for putting it in there, but I have no idea when you’d want to use it!

Yo Pete… This is what I do when a picture is too big to fit: Go back to the “Edit Post” page, click on the photograph, then click on the little icon on the left (“Edit Image”). A window opens up with the photograph and a list of percentages. Just click on a smaller percentage, then click “Update.” This takes you back to the “Edit Post” page, where you click on the little blue “Update” thingy, and that should take care of the problem.

You can also click on the graphic to get the edit boxes to show up, then drag on a corner to make it smaller.
Confession: I tried the percent things first, but they didn’t work right. No doubt I didn’t do it right. Then I did the corner drag and that did work.

Interesting. I didn’t know about the corner-drag maneuver… I’ll have to try that. All this WP stuff can be overwhelming for those of us who are technologically challenged…. I learn mostly through trial and error, and I make plenty of the latter!

I just don’t understand this bit about women hating Sarah Palin because she has it all. I must think more like a man, because I’m happy for her. I don’t understand the Big Sis position, the Barbara Walters comments, or the Times and the Post wanting private citizens to dig through the Alaska e-mails, either. I must be so out of touch.

Ting, I suspect it’s more about sins like pride and envy which transcend gender. The people who hate Sarah for whatever reason tell us more about their own spiritual depravity than they do about the Palin family.

RE: Newt’s casual attitude toward campaigning
He reminds me of how Martha Coakley acted. She also went on vacation rather than campaigning. She seemed to believe her election to the Senate was a given, that the “Kennedy Seat” was going to be handed to her by the Democrat majority voters in Massachusetts.
It’s got me suspicious that Newt has been given some kind of reassurances from big wigs … say at RNC HQ and the MSM … that he’s going to have the nomination handed to him.
Either that or he really doesn’t give a toot. Maybe he’s just in this for one last blast at big stages and cheering crowds before retiring.
Or maybe he’s being set up with major perqs in exchange for being the Next McCain, the white bread and mayo moderate who takes the fall as the RNC nominee who gets thrashed in the name of Obama having a triumphant second term.
It seems so weird to me how living inside the Beltway can make you so dumb. I watch the Rasmussen polls and, whenever they split out the results from inside and outside the Beltway, there is no match at all. Voters do NOT think like the political classes do.
Maybe the political classes ruled the roost in the past. I dunno. I haven’t been watching politics long enough to know. I suspect the Tea Party movement has changed whatever dynamic existed in the past. And I am loving it.

C’mon,Denise;would the media bother to investigate if a Republican:
Was educated in an Indonesian madrassa?
Was the editor of the Harvard Law Review and never wrote a single article?
Consorted with admitted terrorists and racist,vicious anti-semitic “preachers?”
Doesn’t know corps from corpse?There are 57 states?
Gave a speech about fallen heroes and said some of them were there in the room?
Needs a teleprompter to speak to 6th graders?
Was married to a woman who got a job as ‘community outreach director’ at Cook County Hospital at a salary of $115,000/year and was raised to $312,000 after he was elected senator?when she left,they eliminated the position.

Media anal exams are only for pasty-faced conservatives who don’t have Ivy League degrees. (Or in the case of George W. Bush, pasty-faced conservatives who DO have Ivy League degrees.) If you’re liberal enough and have enough melanin in your skin you get a pass — doesn’t matter how many stupid gaffes you commit!

We’ve seen that it’s absolutely essential to have the Leftist agenda down pat, even when it means having to stand on their heads and spit jelly beans … I mean, come out 100% against what they were 100% for just a little while ago. (E.g., the Dems who voted for the Iraq War.) So forget black or female or hispanic or gay and conservative.
What puzzles me is what makes them turn on and devour their own the way they did Hillary Clinton. Everybody has standards, an agenda, and a breaking point. They say their unforgivable sin is hypocrisy, but we’ve seen what a crock that is. So what is it? And if we can figure it out, can we use it against them?

Just for the record, the TOTUS at school incident was mis-reported. He did not use the teleprompter with the kids, but for a presser after his meeting with the kids that merely used a classroom as a backdrop to his comments on education.

You can’t see everyone in the picture, but you can kind of count the tables. I guess-timate five tables seating 3 adults each. He needed a teleprompter and speakers for FIFTEEN people sitting in a little meeting room?
