In the past I use to put them on full sized using thumbnails but didn't bother this time.
Also I’m scared people on the net will use my photos to make money from them.
Would water marking them be an idea?

I have a Sony DSC-F717 digital camera and took them in 2560 x 1920 (Max pixels)

Ah, in PSP8 you'll see different options when resizing (bicubic, bilinear, pixel resize, smart resize etc.). Smart resize seems to give the best results

Embedding a watermark (kind of like this site does with the photo's) will help prevent others using your pictures but will also make them less attractive of course. Putting a little watermark or your name on the lower right of the picture would be the compromise. Any which way, whatever you show on the net, people can keep for themselves, there are ways to prevent saving options but there's always the "printscreen" button with which the screen can be captured which can then be cropped and saved in a paint application.

These pictures in 2560x1920 must be stunning, but a nice 1280x960 smartresized low compressed jpeg would be great too
