Thanks for the comment (and the compliment!), UncaMikey.
The little block selector is supposed to show the progress of the
Picture A Week through the year, and provide a quick way to get to
the latest one or pick one at random. The reason I did the thumbnail
page is that I often want to get to a particular image, for one
reason or another, and the block selector isn't good at that ... I
end up going back and forth through the series a lot.
The thumbnails page images point to exactly the same pages for each
image as the block display does. The only difference is that the
thumbnails are constrained to be a center-square crop of the image in
order to keep the page regular in appearance. If they're not working
that way, then there's something wrong, but they seem to be working
in my testing of the pages.

Godfrey, on the link you posted, I am not sure the little blocks at
the bottom are very helpful. Perhaps it's because you are still
working on this, but I am confused that the images linked from the
little blocks are not the same as the thumbnail page -- should they
be the same? I would consider eliminating the little blocks and
just linking to your thumbnails page. The thumbnail page that you
specifically asked about is helpful and easy on the eye, and it
loaded quickly even on my dialup connection:

More importantly, thanks for posting this -- I saw and really
enjoyed several here that I had not seen before. You're on my list
of photographers whose work makes me think when I'm out snapping.
