You know Thank you all for the info there is so many ways to do one
thing. The Auto links sounds better since I can put that in the artical
where ever I want. Though the template way solves a problem on another
site I have.

But I dont think I am going to end up going it the way I thought. I run
a site called Eternal Media and I think I am going to link to that
instead of moding the Pics pub type to link to that site for the full
sized pic. I dont know yet.
