Thank you, gioby83. I guess I have company in not intuitively knowing to click. Life is good again.
Thank you.

I tried out numerous “thumbnail” plug-ins, none of which worked with version 2.5. If you look at the posted dates, most or all precede the release of 2.5 so all probably need revision to work with the new WP version. The one I finally settled on is iBox. Needed to do a lot of work to get the html to work properly with 2.5, but it does do a nice job once done (the basic .js module works OK). It does not, however, do any of its own “crunching”. You need to create your own thumbnail. That’s a pain, but the result is a very professional experience for site visitors.
Good luck.
