How to create an HTML image thumbnail gallery in Windows [Tip]

Websites with image galleries often include thumbnails. Those are scaled down images that you can expand by clicking on them. To add a few thumbnails to your pages, check out the JoJoThumb software.

You can add the software to Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 from this page. Scroll down to the bottom of that page, and click on the disk icon to save the setup wizard. Run through the setup wizard to add the software to your desktop or laptop, and open the JoJoThumb window in the shot below.
