John is quite right.  Having properly photo-shopped images of a  
standard size is the gold standard.

However, if you don't have that option, the [image] tag might be your  
friend.  You need to have ImageMagick installed on your server to make  
use of all the features, but if you do, then something like [image  
src="/path/to/the/image.jpg" makesize="120x80"] would rescale your  
image to fit within the constraints of 120 pixels wide by 80 pixels  
tall, while preserving the aspect ratio of the original.
