Actually, it didn't. Reread it a little better and include the stuff you
snipped out in your post. Plus there is no size attribute.
I'm sorry and I don't mean to come of persnickety but this particular
abuse of HTML is a pet peeve of mine. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use the
width and height tags to resize images. Say, for example, as a
"thumbnail".
If you do not understand what width and height are for, and do not have
the wherewithal to learn how to use an image editor (say, photoshop or
equvialent), then please, pay me or one of the other thousands of
professional web developer/designers to do it for you. We need the work! :)
<tangent>And I don't agree with the notion that "it is just a personal
site, what does it matter?" It ought to be done right, no matter if it is
an amateur or professional. I mean, it isn't brain surgery. And the
benefits outweigh the detractors. YAdda yadda etc. blah.</tangent>
On a side note, and to respond to the last part of your last post, "the op
is most likely going to want to have the images display uniformly" --
Never ever just uniformly resize images to the same dimensions. There is
something called "aspect ratio" and it is not meant to be tampered with.
You just may rend a hole in the Universe.
