Students,
Many of you are putting very large picture files onto your blogs. This will soon eat up available memory. Please re-insert appropriate pictures (artifacts) following the suggestions listed below to limit the file size.
Here's the fix:
1. download the pictures out of the media library
2. convert them to smaller file sizes (easiest way? take a screenshot)
3. delete the large files from the blog
4. upload the smaller file sizes back into those blog entries.
