  I took pictures (0,5Mo to 3,5 Mo) with my camera with a decent resolution but the pictures appear very uglyly on the blog.
  What is the minimum resolution for the pic so that the picture will appear decently as a thumbnail on the blog?

  Please point out an example from your blog.

  Agreed. The one on your blog doesn’t look bad although that’s not a thumbnail.

  Remember, all a thumbnail is a sample that gets folks to click through to the full size picture. Also remember that image files within a browser window are 72dpi. You can’t get around that.

  The bigger the picture size, the worse the resolution in the thumbnail. Right now I dont want to work out whether that is pixels or bytes, it just is that way. If I understand what you are saying, it may be that your picture files are either larger than optimal or larger than they need to be.

  The photos I see on this blog with a firefox 2.0.0.1 browser look fine to me http://justineromain.wordpress.com/

  Um, no. That’s not correct.
