I use iPhoto to resize to my screen resolution (1440x900 but you can get away with 1680x1050 and export as jpeg with high quality setting (which still churns out a decent image) as oppose to maximum

Others simply host the image on their own servers and attach a linked thumbnail/preview image to their posts

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's in Georgia. Can't recall at the mo if there's more than one.

Here's my desktop - I've had the picture for quite some time, so if anybody wants it, PM me and I'll upload it.

For my desktop screenshots, I open the png in Preview and save it as a jpg with the quality slightly less than "Best." Turns my 1.8 MB file into 500 KB.

Woah, are you serious? You live in Cumming? I've lived here for ~13 years!

It's a great place overall, just enough to do. When we moved here there weren't even traffic lights at exits 13, 14, and 15. What a change! I noticed you are a programmer/IT guy, if you don't mind me asking, which company?
 
Here's mine for this month. I found it on DeviantArt yesterday, just type in desktops and you'll probably find it.

I'm too lazy to find all gray icons for my dock, so they're still the blue ones i used last month. I think it still looks good tho.
