The "thumbnails" that appear inline in your blog posts are the same as if you clicked that image. Might as well take out the click part.

The other photographers blog is similar size to your blog. They've got 3MB and you're slightly over 3MB. They've got a couple Flash video containers near the top though so you might not notice the pictures loading as much since they're further down?
