    Define a Custom Image Size

    <?php previous_image_link( array( 37, 37 ) ); ?>

    Please note that passing an array as the first parameter will not create a new image; It will use the web browser to re-size the thumbnail to fit into the given dimensions. Although this works in a pinch, it produces a rather distorted view of the image due to the fact that browsers have no way of re sampling the re-sized image.
