Thank you, whilst you are around, do you edit each picture and thumb one by one or do you use any software?

I don't know how UW does it, but I personally make each thumb by hand so that they're a custom size. It only takes a few minutes to do and IMO looks much better than a program generated thumb.

I'll stick my nose in here now...

Sheep Guy - I'd list it...I don't mind thumbs on a banner if they're not linked (like you have it) and while some of your links are borderline blind, they're not sneaky & I know you're not trying any trickery so I wouldn't have a problem with that site.

hey Tina! I've been experimenting with thumb sizes and shapes, I generally like to make them a little larger, seems to balance more so I can use bigger text without overwhelming the page. I try to batch process my big pics to save time, although sometimes I have to go back and fiddle with a few of them, but I do thumbs by hand in Photoshop, it's easy & I can optimize them better that way.
