I'm more concerned about file size than pixel dimensions. I may be
on broadband but I'm impatient ;) If a file is more than about 500kb
I might not bother.
IMO any pic that's posted is only worthwhile if your audience can
view the whole thing without scrolling, preferably within the browser
window. Otherwise we'll only be able to see a variety of cropped
versions unless we go to the effort of rescaling the file. I know
it's more work for you, but you could post links to multiple sizes.
My browser window tends to be about 900 pixels wide but I'll happily
hit the little green button which will resize the window to fit its
contents, up to 1600x1200 pixels (the size of my screen).
When I get my 30" Cinema Display I'll ask for 2,500 pixel files...
but that won't happen anytime soon :)
