   Hi,

   If want to have a series of photos in thumb nails - I normally upload the large photo , then i will insert into post at a thumbnail size of my choice - this then automatically is linked to the large original size. My question is: when i choice the size of the thumb nail does word press create a new image in the system or does it actually load the original size (just re-sizes it on screen) ?

   What im trying to get at is, that will it take so long to load my page if i have a lot of images even though they are inserted at a smaller size ? or will it take long even though i have inserted a thumbnail size because its actually going to load the full size image?

   did that make sense?

   Thanks

   The blog I need help with is aswjmedia.com.au.

   There is no blog linked to your username and you did not post the URL for the blog to which you are referring. Is the blog you are talking about this one or not? > http://aswjmedia.wordpress.com/

   I don't know the answer to your question and I hope that another Volunteer can answer it. However, I visited your blog and see that your images are linked to download files so perhaps that's a factor.

   Download & Listen
   (right click and select “save target as” or “save link as”)

   There are many factors that negatively affect page loading times. As page loading time is now a Google ranking factor I expect to see some bloggers scrambling to declutter their sidebars ASAP.
