I also use Paint Shop Pro for my thumbnails (and postwork too.) It's not too complicated. Just resize the image so that the largest dimension is 200 (dimensions should be constrained.) Rather than using the Save As> command, I use the Export>JPEG command to save. (the same is true when I change my full size pic from .bmp to .jpg) As this brings up the wizard screen where one can adjust the compression level. That way I adjust the compression to the minimum amount needed to bring the thumbnail around or under 10Kb (and 100kb for full size pics.) The neat thing about using this is you can see how far that you can push the compression before it starts getting blocky or distorted.
