I like this; you make some good points and it should help keep the site tidier so that a click on a post in the Dioramas gallery will either lead to a full story or contact info to get one, not just a larger version of that one thumbnail!
Just for clarification for anyone regarding the pictures-as-replies method Sonn mentioned I'd used, I've put a link below. It works particularly well for short stories with single-panel pictures I think, although if you scale comic pages right they should still be readable. I posted this in the Dioramas section but only the title pic appears in the thumbnail gallery, the rest are hosted at photobucket and I just immediately replied to the title post with embedded pics when I did it:

I plan on using this method again if I ever get around to doing more stories, since I don't have my own website to host them on and it's easy enough to navigate through the panles (simply scroll down)!
