This depends on the purpose of the image?  For horizontal shots that are simply to illustrate my blog I set the width to 792px.  That is small enough to easily fit inside of a column in a blog layout.  Vertical shots are more tricky, depends more on the aspect ratio.  Of course for portfolio samples (not blog illustrations) I would use a larger image size.  Different portfolio templates handle large images with different capabilities.

Do you mean dimensions or resolution?   One thing to consider is how long you want people to wait to download.  Obviously, you can "squeeze" a 36 megapixel image into a small space on the screen...all that info is wasted, and the person how to wait for it to download.     So I am assuming you are asking for a typical screen density (about 70 DPI), right?

if you are just showing off work, I suggest at most 800 x 500, JPG, with a quality of 60%-70%. Adjust according to content. Then add a watermark right over the entire image. Or figure your images will be taken without your permission.

That's the great thing about portraiture: very few people want to steal your work, other than bogus photographers that wish to misrepresent themselves.

I don't post much of anything above 800 pixels at longest edge

Same with me, 800 to 1000 at the longest edge and about 75% quality
