Dont do this, making a larger image then auto thumbnailing it is easy but will make your site load longer, better yet make another set of images from the larger pics and make them thumbnail site, post the smaller images on your index page and hyperlink it to the larger version of the image, this way you have a faster index page...

assign height and width tags to the images... Example if the image size is 800x600, try using img height="640" width="480" then it automatically makes it 640x480, it would be easier if you put it as an image class in CSS... or wrap it in divs... But I think you can teach her/him to resize the actual image though , coz its gonna be a pain if you use resize tags on larger images...

Sounds like you need a gallery script. There are loads of them out there. You could try searching scripts directories or just check out:
Gallery
You could do this all by hand like demonhale suggested but if you have a lot of images, and are adding more all the itme, it gets very tedious. There's also a way to put Flickr photos on a website if you're familiar with that site.
