I wanted to know if you have ever heard of something called Lightbox JS. Lightbox JS is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. I use it when I use thumbnailed images on my blog and once someone clicks on the image, the fullsized image appears in a nice little box without the need for tabs or anything else. Check out my blog to see it in action and let me know if that is ok. What may not be ok, at least according to your article is that the thumbnail size I am using for my images is generally the same no matter what size the original image is. This allows me to maintain a system that I know will work but it also turns most of the thumbnail images into garbage as you can't tell what the image is based on the thumbnail view. But I guess to surmise what you are saying, I should use the biggest size available for the thumbnails, keeping the images within the constraints of the design and use those as the thumbnail images?
