I prefer to make them one by one as I always say that if you don't *take* the time to do something, you'll never have the time for it.

This said, I first look for a good size, like the link you showed. There I rightclick on a thumbnail and look at properties. This gives me the size of the thumb.

If I have my images ready, I then open them one by one in PS and go to Image>Image size. I tell Photoshop to resample bicubic (set by default) and then I go from the big image in a few steps to the size of the thumbnail. The reason for doing it in steps is that the quality is better. Then I save for web as jpg or gif and try to get the size of the file quite low(under 15K) because every byte has to be loaded, and there are still lots of people with slower connections.

Should you want to make a series of webdesign splash pages, you will have to open them first one by one in your favourite browser and then press the PrtSc button (right of F12). Then open a new doc in Photoshop -it'll be set default at the size of your monitor's resolution- and then paste (Ctrl+V) the countenance of the clipboard into PS. This file should immediately be saved as a tiff or a .psd file. Not a jpg because that format is lossy and would start showing artifacts and bad quality if I had to rework it later.

There are quicker ways, yes, but none gives you the same contact with your work or the same level of tweaking options.

Then do the above.
