Thumbnails That Aren't


What makes a thumbnail a thumbnail? If you write the width and height of an image to be about 80 or 100, is it a thumbnail? Nope! I've surfed (maybe more than) my fair share of Titanic sites, and far too often I've come across a very time-consuming problem. A thumbnail is only a thumbnail when they are two different images and one is much smaller than the other. If you are using the same URL (http://www.geocities.com/.../titanic.jpg) for your thumbnail and the image, it's not a thumbnail, because you have to wait for all of the full images to load. What to do?

If you have a graphics program such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro all you really need to do is save a separate version of the image that is much smaller. Even if you don't have a graphics program, if you have AOL you can edit it by opening it in AOL and changing the size. Otherwise, your visitors have to wait for every image to load. That's no fun. A step above making them load, but below thumbnails, would be text links to them. Be sure you give them accurate titles, and you will have happier visitors.
