I suggest not going any larger than 640 x 480. This will leave you some room for other content on the webpage.
Not having thumbnails will create a navigational problem for the folks
visiting your website. They will only be able to go from page to page,
which takes too long when you are looking through a lot of images.
All your website graphics should be low resolution, 72-96 pixels/inch
to discourage unauthorized printing. That is the highest resolution
that canbe dispalyed on most monitors, so it will also help keep your
file sizes as small as posible for quick loading. This whole procress
is called "optimization".
For a website heavy in graphics, you will have to trade off size.
resolution,and compression(quality) to get pages that load in an
acceptable time frame. This is actually not that big of a problem, as
long as you are not trying to load your original digital pictures on
the website.
You can view a website, www.Alaska365.com, that displays 640 x 480
images, and uses pages of thumbnails for easy navigation.

Re: Images: Dynamic Resize? Quality? ... see the image as it was submitted/uploaded to the website.... This seems obvious to me, as shrinking an image won't lose _any_ quality that the client can see, because they will only be looking at the small version anyway, whereas blowing up an image can produce vastly poorer results than displaying the original-resolution image.... If I have a whole row of landscape thumbnails, then the row only needs to be high enough to allow for 60 pixels of height, but if there's even one portrait thumbnail, the row height expands by another 20 pixels to account for that. ... Likewise, the thumbnails always have the same margin between them, but portrait thumbnails demand less width than landscape ones do. ... (microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp)
