I think what you are doing is correct... or at least it is what I do :-). You
can saze your self a little time by getting a shareware of freeware package
which allows you to do all this "automatically" - one I have even made a tray
at outputing the basic html.

Another way to do it is to resize the pictures on screen (ie load your 640*480
image into a 320*240 space). To do this use:

<p><img src="http://www.www.www/www.jpg" width="640" height="480"></p>

This is what I have done on this page:

http://www154.pair.com/eh105jb/apics8/thumb.htm

As you point out, it will take longer for a user to load your index if you do
this. However, as the user has already cached all your pics to view the index,
viewing them full size is "instant".

In there another way? I am 100% self taught via trial and error!

Hi,

Is there a "proper" way to create thumbnails?  Basically, what I do is
transfer the 640x480 image from my camera to my computer.  Then I create
another version of the image (say, 50% of the original 320x240).  Finally, on
my page I'll have the smaller image displayed, and clicking on it will open
the original, larger picture.

In doing so, I literally have two sets of pictures - which takes up storage
space, but saves the page-viewer time if they don't want to load a page full
of large pictures.

Any advice?  Maybe there isn't a "proper" way.  Thanks in advance.
