Resize image NO PIL!!

Nope.  They don't support that either.  I emailed them (again) asking
for these features or at least see if they are in the works sometime
in the future and I keep getting their standard response which is
basically "you can do it yourself if you upgrade to our $249/mo
dedicated plan".

I'd go with EC2 for $70/mo first!

Thanks
