I'd appreciate hearing how others would tackle the following simple
exercise please. I've finally got around after some 6 months to
publishing photos of my 2005 Thames Path walk on my home pages:
http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/terrypin/Walks/TP05/walkphotos05.htm
(Links to the two previous years' walks are also included.)

As you see, the layout is basic layout and so is the presentation
method: each captioned thumbnail takes you to an individual enlarged
photo (about 640 x 420, made by resizing the edited originals). But
that loses the captions, and I'd like them included.

I've experimented before with adding captions within the photo itself,
but don't really like the result, which can spoil the composition.

So I'm now considering making new images, say about 640 x 440, with
the caption in the added white space below the photo.

(As an aside, anyone have any ideas on fast/automated ways of
achieving that? Doing it manually for each image will be tedious.
Given that the text already exists under the thumbnails, it should be
possible somehow to automate it...)

But what other approaches would others recommend please? IOW, what are
better methods of allowing the photos to be displayed at that larger
size, complete with captions?

I'm relatively inexperienced with low level HTML coding, and use
FrontPage 2000 for most of my stuff.
