>Hey Jeff guess what?!?! target="out" was just what I was looking for. If I use out instead of blank on my thumbnail photos, it only opens a new window once... and each subsequent thumbnail link opens in the same window!

Not so my javascript fearing friend! Your pages open with no control over content. The window has a menu,buttons,etc. apparently inheriting from the initial page. Using the javascript allows you to pass multiple parameters to control the new window for such things as toolbars, scrollbars, captions, etc. The photos Erik Moore uploaded were large jpegs that needed scrollbars so I just added scrollbars=yes to the javascript and there they were. Target="out" is "half stepping!" Go ahead, javascripting won't kill you, remember "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!"
