Resizing Bmp Files

Hiya It says it all in the title and topic description really, l really need to know how to resize bitmap files, when l finish drawing my pic and save it, the file size is huge which means if l put the pic on my website it takes the visitor ages to load it up and it takes up loads of space, how can l resize the file and make it smaller??? thanx, Stay Beautiful, Aissa.

Hey, you can try saving it as a jpeg if you have windows xp you can save files as jpeg's in MSpaint.. but if you have Adobe photoshop you can do it there also you just click File>Save As> Filename Jpeg Easy as pie:)
