   I am creating a custom theme, and still pretty new at this. I'd like to get it set so that a photo appears on the side of the main content. I would like that photo to be pulled from a set of photos, and the pulled photo would correspond to the page slug url.

   Essentially, in the page.php file, I would have

   <img src=" <template URL>/images/<page-slug-name>.jpg">

   How do I call the template URL and page-slug-name? Also, in case there isn't a photo for that slug name, could I have a default photo that would be inserted? How would that be done?

   thanks!

   eventually figured it out:

   src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/pagephotos/<?php single_post_title(); ?>.jpg"

   Had to use the post title instead of slug, but it works.

   <?php echo $post->post_name; ?>

   This outputs the slug...
