Aesthetic query

What do people think about the big thumbnail images in the last few posts? They do allow for a much better sense of the overall picture, and they don’t sit awkwardly to one side of a white space. At the same time, they seem to diminish the text – especially when you cannot see the beginning of a post without scrolling down.

Should I stick with 450 pixel thumbnails or revert to 320 pixel ones?

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

  1. The 450 pixel wide ones look better, though they make it more important to come up with good photos, in the first place.

  2. I slightly prefer the smaller ones. They don’t overwhelm one’s attention so much.

  3. I like the larger ones. It looks nicer when it sits neatly (as the same width) on top of the text.
