well i didn't think of using plain old html and i have tested that approach and it DOES work.
BUT.....if I am using a thumbnail image to link to another image, I have to make sure to update the paths in my view if i ever change my webroot. seeing as how this is on a dev box in a subdirectory, it would be ideal if we could user CakePHP's helper to render well- formatted html. cake will create the proper html if i am not behind /admin maybe you mean i should edit routes.php and create a rule for img thumbnails in this view.
