What, you don't like images that are 10x as wide as the screen and reduce everything else to a speck? or conversely, cause the screen to scroll sideways but you still can't see all of it at once?
WIDTH="600" is also acceptable most times.
PIAPS is now PIAS, and she’ll have to lose some weight to get down to 300 pounds - Kim Jong Un’s fighting weight.

I was hoping that downsizing to HS Yearbook size might help.
IT DOES NOT !!!
It's an old habit I picked up from HTML 4.0 - all tags should be closed, so the stand-alone tags should be closed like that. Tags such as:
Since HTML5 I don't think you have to do that, it will work without the closing slash.
I looked it up after you posted your question and I guess I'm showing my age/experience. It's XHTML which is based on XML.
The tag represents what is known as a void element (see HTML5 spec), so called because it can't have any contents (unlike, say or
XHTML, however, is based on XML, where every tag needs to be closed.
So I went and looked up the question on StackOverflow and saw the arguments back and forth.
I found this comment:
You will never find any HTML specification calling out the use of the closing slash on that tag. As others mentioned, it is allowed as to not break web sites originally written to use XHTML/XML, but nowhere will you find any wording or examples stating its usage is needed. In fact, you WILL find wording stating it has no meaning and browsers are instructed to ignore it!
I just went and checked what FreeRepublic uses and it is HTML 4.0 Transitional, so technically, we should use the backslash!
Here's what I got from the header:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/l/common.js"></script> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/l/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="search" href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search" title="Search Free Republic" />
That has been my experience since the beginnings of HTML (which for me was at HTML3.x or maybe earlier; 3.x was when I started seriously reading the HTML specifications, as opposed to copying other pages source).
LOL! Seriously though, you could have given a warning.
It’s good to know that the royal barber got to keep the job
You must use both the “width=xxx” and the “height =xxx” tags together to keep the image proportional.
