title: Php image resize/thumbnail approach for (Wordpress)
body: <p>My goal is to create a website for a client that needs the site to be heavily based as image galleries.  </p>
  
  <p>I am making the site through Wordpress so the client can upload the pictures through the friendly wordpress admin panel and then the site will display a parent image for the gallery and several thumbnails (scrolling with Jquery).</p>
  
  <p>My question is for advice on good ways to resize the images as thumbnails.  Currently I have some "hack-ish" code that simply changes the image dimensions, but as far as I know this doesn't reduce loading time and is quite inefficient.</p>
  
  <p>Any ides on how to do it better?  Possibly by using PHP GD?  Thanks!</p>
