   I want my blog template to have a layout where each post has an image that is posted alongside the excerpt. Much like this site.

   I have tried the function the_post_image(); and the_post_thumbnail in my template but both give me this error:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function the_post_image() in [thethemedirectory]\blogpage.php on line 27

   what am I doing wrong? This is the loop I made:

   <?php query_posts('category_name=websites&posts_per_page=10'); ?>
   
     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   		<div class="posthead">
   			<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
   			</a></h3>
   
   		</div><!-- /Posthead -->
   		<div class="entry">
   		 <div class="alignright"><?php the_post_image(); ?></div>
   
   			<?php the_excerpt(); ?></div><!-- /Entry -->
   
   				<p class="postmetadata">
   			<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); ?></p>
   
   	<?php endwhile; ?>

   I assume just adding an image to a post by uploading it and adding it as a thumbnail make it the post image. If I'm worng how do you add a post image to a post?

   Extra: having done some research I have added add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); to my functions.php which allows me to attach an image to my post but I still receive the same error when I visit the blog page

   Figured it out....

   Use the_post_thumbnail() not the_post_image()

   hope this helps someone else...
