Thumbnails for book and author previews

[anishsheela]

Now, full images are on the thumbnails. Scaled down versions of images will make it faster.

We are currently using the scaled down version of images in thumbnails ('medium' - 300 X 300 [1][2]). Do you think we should reduce it again?

I was asking about http://dev.grandham.org/authors page.

The first image takes a few seconds to load on my broadband. I thought it was because of large image used.

Also, if 100x100 is used for thumbnails, then no problem.
