I figured out your problem.
It's because the PhotoPost script (the one Chuck mentioned above) first resizes to fit the desired
width, then resizes to fit the desired
height. Which means that when PhotoPost resizes landscape photos, it's
upscaling using this method. (No wonder it's blurry!)
Chuck, I think you'll find the following code to be more graceful (the option flag '^' has been available for this very thing since v.6.3.8-3):
Code:

I've attached some examples for you to compare:
2253thumb2.jpg was generated using the code Chuck posted, while
2253thumb.jpg was generated using the code I've posted here.
To reiterate: the current Uniform Thumbnail script, as applied to landscape-oriented images, shrinks them down too far. It then enlarges the too-small thumbnail before cropping, resulting in a blurry image. The code I've posted here ought to avoid this.
