I tend to post all images with a maximum height/width of 600 pixels, as I'm designing for a minimum resolution of 1024x768. However, in my photo gallery, I also have larger images, with a maximum width of 1000 pixels, and maximum height of 800 pixels.

I should have put 2-and-2 together to recognize the benefit of my own Analytics reporting, but hadn't. I've since done some checking and the resolution percentages I'm getting for visitors to my blog are quite similar to your own. I also appreciated finding out about the bit with Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir, I was unaware of her story. I'm not a Flickr guy, but it's nice to know how it effects the community as a whole. Great post.
