Thumbnails

This might be old hat to most, but given the number of visitors we attract on a daily basis, I think it might be worth highlighting.

The majority of images you see on the blog are "thumbnails". No, not your classic thumbnail, but thumbnails nonetheless: smaller versions of the original image. The blog limits the user to a width of 400 pixels. This might be sufficient--and it has indeed proved itself to be so--on standing figures smaller than 120mm, give or take, with relatively small footprints; but for everything else, it is woefully inadequate.

Not a problem! In those instances where I feel a 400-pixel wide image is insufficient, I simply link the thumbnail (350-400 pixels wide) back to the source image. How do you know if the image is linked? Simply run your cursor over the image and if the arrow changes into a hand with an outstretched index finger, it's a linked image! Click on the image and you will be taken to the full-sized image.

Now, depending on the dimensions of your monitor, you might have a reduced-sized image before you. In these instances, when you run the cursor over the image, you will see the arrow change into a magnifying glass with a + sign in it: click on the image and it will go to full-size.

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to comment.

ENJOY!
