For performance reasons, when I an image is uploaded at my site, a
thumbnail is made right then and there. original goes into /images/
and the thumb goes into /images/tn/ with the exact same file name.
Then I link as:
<a href='/images/file.jpg'>
<img src='/images/tn/file.jpg' alt='photo' border='0' />
</a>

Just my shtei agorot.
