Hello,
This is my site: CareAce.net
As you can see there are thumbs right next to the excerpt on the main pages. I'd use get_post_meta to achieve the thumbs with this code:
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumb', true); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="thumb" src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="CareAce" width="140px" /></a>
Right now, I'm trying to add some text above the thumbs like how Lifehacker does it.
I've tried using the same method of get_post_meta. I'm able to add the text on, but am having trouble linking the text to its equivalent tag (e.g. in the custom field thumb_text, I will enter 'happy'. and WP will parse that and link it to the tag 'happy')
I know it's a little bit out there, but will truly appreciate any help available! Thanks!
