Resize a photo

An image can be resized a number of ways, if you using an Apple computer simply open up the photo with preview, click tools-resize, and resize to your required dimensions. To upload the photo, you can either choose tumblr or imgur, personally I prefer imgur as the process is a lot easier. This is a photo I have resized and uploaded. It can be found at http://imgur.com/NkZ717O



Embedding an Audio File

The best free online audio host in my opinion is www.soundcloud.com. You can sign up for free and start uploading all your audio straight away. Sound Cloud also allows to to share via Facebook and Twitter and creates HTML code to allow to you embed your music in your website/blog. Below is an example of that.
