   from a specific category and show the first image of everey
   post e.g. in the sidebar.

   By default, using the_content allows images to be displayed in a post, but you will also have text displayed. This is what is used on a normal single post view.

   On the other hand, the_excerpt can limit that text, but it cuts out images.

   So, how to go about it, I can think of two different methods, have a read on both and see what you think.

   1. Use the following plugin: The Excerpt Reloaded, and look at the allowedtags parameter.

   2. Read on Custom Fields, and then create a custom loop to show them.

   Post back if you have any further questions.

   Alex
