   I am new to wordpress and I am looking for this functionality:
   - When I make a post, I would like to be able to attach an image. This image will probably be used in the post itself (could be multiple images) I think this functionality is already included?
   - I want to be able to get the image (or first or "highlighted") to display as a "headline" item, seperately at the top of the homepage, with a link to the full article.
   It should also contain the headline itself of course.

   Can I do all this with the basic WP functionality? I have not found out yet how.
   I am able to code it into it if you guys give me some lead where I should look for the necessary WP functions. Also for images; I understand that I cannot add a lot from the admin interface. Do I need a seperate galery plugin?

   I hope this clears up what I would like to do, but don't hesitate to ask for more information!

   First I'd install this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/ This will then allow you to add a separate entry box in your posts screen. Make sure this extra field has the ability to upload images.

   You will then need to use http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta to get the relevant image to your post.

   Hope this helps. I use this system all the time, so shout if you have any problems.

   OK Thanks for the feedback!
   I will try to get it working once I got some time to spend on it.
