Using a simple HTML editor (I use the Netscape one and then remove all the unnecessary code that it puts in), I create an HTML table. The number of columns will depend on your thumbnail size and the screen resolution that you are working at. For
instance, with thumbnails 200 pixels wide and a screen width of 1024 pixels, you could have five columns. Each cell contains an image tag, as in:

<IMG SRC="r02_a43_03.jpg" height=115 width=176>

Alternatively, you could simply forgo the table and have the body of your HTML document simply contain the image tags.

Try to use a naming convention that makes sense. Something that identifies the CD, the roll number and the image number is good. I use the same name with a .tif extension for the original scan.

The beauty of this is that you can keep the thumbnails on your hard drive and instantly know which CD and neg binder they are from.
