You're the first person to do this. Well, you're at least the first person to do this and include my name in the blog post about it, which adds immeasurably to the awesometude of any attempt.
Thanks. This will be useful.
Thanks right back atchya, Nat! The awesometude indicator just bumped a notch from your comment, too.
Your guide to this topic was inspired (and your gallery of test images was even hilarious). Thanks again.
This was really helpful. I use Wordpress for my blog, and an Amazon plugin I was using stopped working after the most recent upgrade. Now I can at least get the image size I prefer to use without all the extra cruft. I now have 2 bookmarklets - one for large images and a second one that I adapted from the first so that I can generate a medium size image (SCMZZZZZZZ).
Thanks!
