Just specify the width and height of the images...or u can adjust height and width of the image via any software like irfan view and then upload the scaled images to blogger..try to use .png or .jpeg image format only

This is what you are currently doing :

For example, the actual image say image.png is 500*500 pixels - size 100 MB . You have inserted that image in your page but specified its dimensions as 250*250 

<img src="image.png" width="250" height="250"/>

So, when someone opens your blog, the 500*500 image will be downloaded and resized by the browser to 250*250 pixels.

Instead, using software ( ex :  irfan view as specified by Aditya ) you can scale your image to 250*250 pixels - newImage.png and use that picture.

<img src="newImage.png" width="250" height="250"/>

The size of newImage.png will be something around 25KB compared to 100KB of image.png which will increase the speed of your blog.

Yes Ranjith this is what is happening and that is causing the page speed to slow down.  I will follow this tutorial in future posts and try to rescale all old images mentioned in the page as you have guided.  Thanks for the information.

Why ? No one knows how to serve chilled beer or everyone loves drinking / reading about beer?

Vijay Prabhu

Precisely that is the reason, everyone loves drinking/reading about beer so the topic would have flooded with each giving their own tutorials for serving chilled beer
