 * Is there a way to ensure every image you place on your blog is a max width, say
   525px?

 * Try adding `if ( ! isset( $content_width ) ) $content_width = 525;` to your theme’s
   functions.php file.

 * Thanks esmi
 * I looked and found this:
 * // Overides default FULL SIZE image size
    $GLOBALS[‘content_width’] = 550;
 * but its not reducing the size to 550.
    I also tried to enter the code you provided,
   not sure where to put it. I don’t know php so I just dumped it in and it didn’t
   seem to work either. sorry. Any other suggestions.

 * The code can go anywhere in your functions.php file providing it is after the
   opening `<?php` tag and outside any existing functions. The code **will** work
   providing you use the Large image in your posts/pages.
