Friends,

Brian (TallPockets) and I have batted ideas about graphics at the top of our Writing Gallery submissions.  I think an image/graphic/sketch can help pre-conditon the reader as to what's contained in the main post.  Or shamelessly mislead.  Currently we are limited to 200 x 200 pixels in the thumbnail, and 300 x300 in the text portion – not much room to show detail.

I've noticed that a text headed by a graphic gets more readers than "(no thumbnail)."  There may be other subtle currents at work on the viewer, but an image engages his attention longer than "(no thumbnail)".

To get more from our limited graphic capability, I'm experimenting with the thumbnail  slightly different than larger picture, but closely allied.  Ideally I'd like an image every 200 to 300 words.  My bare bones descriptions need help. 

In the "Photography" and "Story/Sequential" sections (my post today of 750 pxl wide chapter pics in a long vertical montage) Brian's reply mentioned that with the June improvements, surely we could have images larger than 300 x 300. 

Can we?  Would it be possible?   David, could you ask the Grand High Council?

Please?
