   If you're interested in building a theme that use images automatically in the posts, you might find this code snippet useful. This will allow a thumbnail image to show up automatically without require the writer to insert any code in the post:

   <?php # get the thumbnail image if one exists
     $image = "";
     $post_attachments = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT guid "
                                     ."FROM $wpdb->posts "
                                     ."WHERE post_parent = '$post->ID' "
                                     ."AND post_type = 'attachment' "
                                     ."ORDER BY <code>post_date</code> ASC "
                                     ."LIMIT 0,1"
                                     );
   
     if ($post_attachments) {
       $image = $post_attachments[0]->guid;
       $image = str_replace(".jpg","-64x64.jpg",$image);
       $image = str_replace(".png","-64x64.png",$image);
       $image = str_replace(".gif","-64x64.gif",$image);
     }
   ?>
   
   <?php if ( $image != "" ) { ?>
       # Do something with the $image
   <? } ?>
