How to do a "thumbnail"

[Bob]

<url=http://the path to the BIG file.jpg><img>http://the thumbnail.jpg</img></url>

replace < with [
replace > with ]

One can also reset the dimensions of a file by setting the image= and width= numbers inside the <img> tag (once again, replacing < with [, etc)

Example: here's a shot of the old Farmers Market (taken by Michael Locke). It's 400 wide by 332 tall.



To reduce it, I use the same URL but add width=200 height=165 after the img to get:



Replacing the brackets, this is what the code looks like:

<img width=200 height=165>http://images.chattanoogan.com/photo_images/photo_9332_large.jpg</img>

Of course, the trick is knowing basic math in order to get the proper dimenions when resizing.
