   You can use the_meta() to display images using the following code:

   <?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image', $single = true);
   $image_alt = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'image alt', $single = true);
   if (!empty($image)){?>
   <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="<?php if(empty($image_alt)) { echo $image_alt; } else { echo the_title(); } ?>" />
   <?php } ?>

   Put the url of the image in the meta field called image and the alternative text in image_alt.

   You could try using a plugin such as Advanced Post Image

   What I would like to learn how to do...
   are these 2 things
   1. Create a Page that lists subpages like the screenshot shows.
   The latest added subpage would show up on top, with a full size image and a short text.
   the rest of the subpages would be shown with a thumbnail and a short text

   2. I would like to be able to place 4 random subpages in the bottom of the page.

   Is this possible in wordpress?

   I'm guessing you're trying to convert Stephanie's site from drupal to wordpress?

   1. You need to use a standard archive page using the_meta() to generate images next to each item.

   2. You need to create a new query like so $randomPost = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT guid FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 4"); and do exactly the same thing for the 4 random posts you have picked from the database.

   Unfortunately I don't have time to go into the finer details however you can hire me to help you create a WordPress theme.
