I'm not telling you what you should do with your online gallery, but on my own, most of the image files are 600 pixels in the long direction and they're about 50 to 60k in size, 24-bit color. I agree, 300x200 is too small to see what's going on. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
