I store my images, unsharpened, as TIFF files as well as sharpening them at 100% and converting to JPEGS for display. The idea there is that sharpening for display and sharpening for print are different, so if I wish to print an image, I will sharpen the original TIFF, and print that.
Once converted to JPEG, I resized to use here, on the forum. However, the perceived wisdom is to resize first, then sharpen at 100%, so as of today, that is what I will do.
If I need an image here, I copy the original TIFF file, resize it for the forum, sharpen it at 100% of the new size and then convert it to a JPEG. Seems long winded, but it is seemingly what the professionals do.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
