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?

Ok, those sound like good suggestions. I'm not fond of gimp. Its a large, complex program for a fairly simple need.
On the other hand, its free, and it does everything. And I might need everything.
You outlined straightforward steps to get the job done.
Thank you.
