Right now we have next/previous buttons like: []

The problem: it's confusing. I made a suggestion on how to fix this once, by reversing the order of the arrows: http://bugs.foocorp.net/issues/423

However I'm not sure this really makes things clearer. Either ordering is confusing here:

• [] is what we used to do but this is confusing because our galleries go in the opposite direction (newer on left, older on right), which is what makes sense for a gallery to be like.
• [] is what we do now, but that's also totally confusing. Who really expects arrows to point this way? Not me (even despite filing that old ticket). Imagine reading a webcomic ordered this way. That would be crazy! So here's some suggested resolutions:
• Switch back to the old behavior and add text to the arrows, like []
• Add smaller-thumbnail support (75-100px?) and make these thumbnails the navigation.

I'd opt for #1... maybe we can make #2 a different ticket and add an ajaxy "quick browser" like flickr has that's scrollable left and right, and make that separate from the current next/previous arrow buttons. Bonus point: doing #1 will fill up some of that glaring whitespace on those current buttons ;)

Dropping this in Jef's lap! Jef, what do you think?

We could really use a mediagoblin favicon! Not all instances have to use it, but it'd be nice to have in.

If we scaled down an image (ie, if there's a 'medium' key...) then the image should link to the original fullsized image.
