Also, I just discovered that if you click on the image in Internet Exploder
(oh, Explorer) it automatically resizes the image to fit the window.

Since I've done ALOT with HTML, websites,& Image resizing...

Irfanview is awsome for resizing, But I only use it for oddball sizing, I
Use Paper Port for scanning,& changing formats, & Microsoft Picture It, for
normal thumbnails, & pics.  Picture It has only 3 image sizes, "thumbnail"
"quater screen" & "half screen", "half screen" is near a normal picture
size.  It also allows for 3 quality settings, Fastest, Better, & Best
(slowest).  The best option for large pics, 800x600... Is "compressing".
Compressing forces the picture to download faster, I've used Adobe Photoshop
for this at school, but Adobe is expensive, & huge...  I belive Irfanview
does this, correct Steve?

Yes there is a HTML tag that will resize, but the picture STILL takes along
time to load, sometimes longer then its normal.  The tag is inserted intothe
image tag:
<IMG SRC="...jpg/.gif" height=65 width=100>(my common thumbnail resizing...)

(...) gah! that's a terrible thing to do, IMO. not only you force people to download the huge picture, just to see it as 100x65, but you use up their cpu to resize it, every time anyone hits the page... instead of just resizing them once yourself, (...)
