Hi Bob & list: I will caution you on the possible loss of valuable data on the resampling the photos to too small a size. We have seen as time goes by, the available bandwidth and storage capacity increases, and the 300 x 250 images will be vaguely reminicent of the 320 x 240 videos you skip over on Youtube. We don't need 5 Mb image files, but some happy medium would be nice. Please don't resize the images to a less than useful size.
I have looked at 300, 480, 640, 800 and 1024 pixel long dimension images and 640 to 800 are the minimum I would resample things down to. I thank the efforts to put up the EOM and it is a great reference.
