Someone asked me how to properly format images on TD games – an important point.
Many of you will find imgur easy to use for this purpose. After you've uploaded your image, you can alter the image url to resize it. (You can get the image url from right-clicking the photo and selecting "copy link address" or similar.)
When I use images, I put them all in a single file using GIMP (a Photoshop alternative) to ensure they are formatted and spaced the way I want them to appear. For example: Spoiler
Note: the image and its larger version are both hosted on The Final Wager, which I find easier for these purposes – but imgur is just as good.
Hope that helps!

All of what Vermonter just said. Imgur is so much easier to use and more straightforward as a picture repository than those other bloatwares that masquerade as repositories.
And no matter what, even if it's your tenth time at the helm, it never hurts to ask someone for feedback on your game: both the rules and the questions. I am always happy to help out, and I know several others here are, as well.
I'm hosting for the first time this next week and I think I may well see if I can take anybody up on this. I'm finishing my draft tonight but want to ensure that it's up to the high standards this community expects.

Or just wing it like I did and end up with less than 20 participants, LOL. I probably shouldn't have done it while under a bit of a time crunch, but I hated seeing all that empty space.
If you're looking for feedback on your quiz prior to posting -- and it's always a good idea to get input from others, as many here have affirmed -- here's a thread to post your request: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3632
I feel stupid asking this, but I'm terrible with computers. Could somebody help me set up an image gallery for my upcoming TD? I have all images saved to Imgur but can't download GIMP on my Chromebook, and even if I could, I'm not sure how to condense them into one.
For me it’s easier just to paste the links in order and adjust the size / spacing until it looks good. Does that make sense? Or you size all images into squares on your computer- say 2x2- then create a new image in preview or photoshop or something - size 6x6 and then copy paste those images into the grid. Maybe there’s an easier way
For my TDs, I create all those nifty image grids of Scandinavians and Mexican food and Montrealers and American art masterpieces using http://www.fotojet.com. There is a photo grid maker on their site and most of the grid patterns are free.
Even the ones that aren't free, if you are clever, you can find ways to get for free anyway. For example a 3 by 3 grid is one of the premium grids that you're supposed to pay for. But the 4 by 4 grid is free. So if you need a three-by-three just start with a 4 by 4 and then X away the seven boxes that you don't need and you have a free 3 by 3 grid.
I've gotten lots of compliments on the photo grids in my TDs.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
