I use admin blog posts as modular content blocks on my Main/Index page. When I upload a jpg to place it in the blog post, the result always looks a little fuzzy- and that looks totally cheesy. The original jpgs are nice and crisp and are a reasonable file size, like say 100-300 kb, and have been optimized in Photoshop. Why is this happening and where can I (hopefully) adjust the settings?

The main reason an image will look fuzzy is usually because it is being resized bigger than what the original image size is.

Do you have a link we can check out?

Yes- on my main page fotmd.com ...the two jpgs in the blog box titled "Single Instructor Events/Classifieds" on the right column...and also the two jpgs at bottom left of page in the "Noter drone Blog" box. All 4 images are (were)crystal clear on my computer and in Photoshop, even when zoomed in large. I can send them to you in original form. It's only after I add them to my blog post that they get crappy fuzzy looking.

The chosen resolution is a bit low, open up the editor where the image is and edit the source code, (that double greaterthan/lessthan button), and look for this:

http://fotmd.com/upimg/image/upimg_file/34/320

Change it to this
http://fotmd.com/upimg/image/upimg_file/33/xxlarge

To use a biggger image.

Valid image sizes are:
Quote: image size - must be one of: 24,xxsmall,40,xsmall,56,72,small,96,icon96,128,icon,196,medium,256,large,320,larger,384,xlarge,512,xxlarge,800,xxxlarge,1280

--edit--
That image size is set when you upload the image in the dropdown box, you could always re-upload it again but select a larger image size when you upload. That would do the same thing.

here is a screenshot of where it was set when the image was uploaded:

Thanks, you gents!
Changing it to "xxlarge" (512 instead of 320) in the blog post code made a great improvement- looks fine now, and I learned something valuable. Happy!
