Well, now you mention it ... this one from your gallery doesn't look as sharp as it could/should. (Gorgeous light, but not too sharp.) Neither does this one or this one, and I guess if I'd looked at more I'd be saying the same thing.I never do it that way and no ones ever mentioned anything
I do everything fully, save and then resize in fireworks for the web...perhaps its just the way it copes well with it all ...dunno.?
Look OK? Yes.
These two on a TP thread are processed the same way, do they look ok?
we hae a tutorial on sharpening that works very well before or after resizing.

You learn something every day on here
and me.....I never knew that!!
Look OK? Yes.
Gorgeous colour and composition? Yes.
Sharp? Not especially.
Yep! Me three
Now, what is meant by versharpening"? I think I have read that somewhere, but what does it actually mean? How does it affect the final pic?
There are several kinds of sharpening. A handy but over-complete reference is Bruce Fraser's book Image Sharpening with Photoshop.
When you edge-sharpen a photo, what you do essentially is that you make the row of dark pixels at the junction between light and dark areas (the edges) extra dark and the row of light pixels even lighter. This emphasizes the edges and 'sharpens.'
When you resize the image smaller, you often lose these darkened/lightened rows so the edges become un-emphasized.
Thus resize and resharpen.
'Oversharpening' means that the edges are so emphasized that the lightened row of pixels become visible as haloes around edges. The over-darkened row is less conspicuous but is there.

No problems.Thank you Lew!
No problems.
