picture template page

Hey guys, I use a lot of thumbnail pictures in my blog which i link to separate pages with an enlarged version, site header and ads. I have found this to be a very long winded process of creating a page for every picture, adjusting size, linking it, adding a border etc etc

Looking at several other sites where they post huge amounts of pictures I believe that there must be an easier way of doing this.

Much love for anyone who can simplify this process x x
