   Hi all,
   At the moment I'm recoding my homepage. It is not the blog, but I'd like to show Teasers to the last 3 posts. Until here it is ok.

   I've use this technique: http://www.daobydesign.com/blog/2007/07/modifying-wordpress-front-page/ combined with the_excerpt function.

   But now I'd like to show a little thumbnail to make it a little bit more attractive. Is there a way to add something like and "excerpt image"?

   Thanks in advance for your awnsers.
   Bye

   Thanks,
   But actually I'd like to put a picture related to each post.

   Example:
   http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/
   The last two entries do have a little thumbnail.

   Is there any way of entering a custom variable to the post (image_path) and calling it afterwards?

   Thanks for your help and the links.
   I finally decided to use the custom variable and the get_post_meta() function.

   I'm trying to avoid plugins as much as possible.
   Have a nice day
