   I am changing the main page of my blog just to show a post teaser instead of the full content. Does anyone know how to include an image that is different from the image that in included in the article?

   Since I am using the 3.0 version and I don't see that as an option do I just cut/paste the

   add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' )

   to the functions.php file and it should work?

   thats how to get it started, for instance I have this in functions.php
   

   // THIS IS THUMBNAIL SUPPORT
   if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { // Added in 2.9
   	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
   	set_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50, true ); // Normal post thumbnails
   	add_image_size( 'single-post-thumbnail', 300, 999 ); // Permalink thumbnail size
            add_image_size( 'title-image', 50, 27 ); // Title mini photo
   }

   which registers 3 different thumbnail sizes I can use.

   I then use the_post_thumbnail like this:
   <?php the_post_thumbnail('single-post-thumbnail', array('class' => 'pageImage', 'alt' => 'Full Page Image')); ?>

   to call to each of the registered images in my templates where I want them

   OK, I am new to this so please stay with me as this is what I got:

   I understand what you have in the first box except for the line:
   add_image_size( 'title-image', 50, 27 ); // Title mini photo

   What is a "Title Mini Photo"?

   I don't understand where to place the last set of code you provided.

   I was reading the instructions that you have on this link. Can you use this on the 3.0 version?
