without having to link it to the large picture.. i just want to reduce the large pic to a small one.

just open up your graphic program and open the image, copy it and paste it into a new image. Then make the size of the image smaller and save it as tumb_image.gif for example.

The only thing you will get is double amount of images. That's why i would say link to the image with this code and make the sizes smaller:

<a href="largeimageurlhere.gif"><img src="thumbimagehere.gif" border=0 height="#" width="#"></a>

*ugh* sorry i was dreaming again. That code was meant if you where going to use double images with them. This is the rigth code:

<a href="imageurlhere.gif"><img src="imageurlhere.gif" border=0 height="#" width="#"></a>

imageurlhere.gif is the same in both places, only the linked one is fullsize, the viewed one is the one that is made smaller with the height and width things :)
