I have started making icons and wanted to post a "preview" of the different collections on my .Mac homepage. Or, should I post all of the icons in the collection?

What is the best way for me to do that? What is the best icon size to use for the "preview"

Also if I post the folders for download, what is the best size to have them (48x48 etc)?

Thanks again for the help

From what I have seen, the general practice is to post a picture of the highest resolution version (128px for Mac, 48px for PC) next to a 32px or 24px version so people can visualize how it will scale. Also, a lot of designers lightly watermark the images so they can't be easily ripped. When I display icon collections on my pages, I placed four or five samples from the collection on display. Iconfactory does the same, and I think it gives people a pretty good idea of the package contents.
