Flickr will allow thumbnails to link to the full-size, readable, image, as in the ugly butts post
I usually use ImageShack which will post the size of the full image one must download if the thumbnail is clicked. This is a boon to those in remote areas on dial-up so you don’t have to wait forever for a too-large image to load. 
Flickr has the advantage of taking the viewer to your collection of photos.
Either way, using another image host for the thumbnails also speeds up the display on a blog instead of posting your full sized image on the blog host.

The size of header images which can be used in themes which allow such seems to be “height: 192px; width: 740px; ”
http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers#Changing_the_Header_Image
Here’s one example, http://13c4.wordpress.com/
I had to construct this by using Word (or similar) to format the text with inserted image. Then I took a screenshot and resized it. I saved it locally and uploaded it under the presentation options. Complicated but it gave me enough white space for the text to show on top of the image. Wordpress.com will shortly have themes modified to accept header modifications (like Fauna does).
For Regulus theme, the header image restriction is 730 pixels wide by 140 pixels high
