   Greetings all.....

   I'd like a bit of advice from you lovely people, if I may. I'm trying to pull the images from each individual post, display them as a thumbnail, and use that thumbnail as a link to the post the image was pulled from. I've had a look at this thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/140609?replies=48 and that's been useful, but it's marked as resolved, hence this new thread.

   Here's the code I'm using
   

   <?php if ( $images = get_children(array(
   		'post_parent' => get_the_ID(),
   		'post_type' => 'attachment',
   		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   	))) : ?>
   	<ul class="post_list">
   		<?php foreach( $images as $image ) :  ?>
   			<li><?php echo wp_get_attachment_link($image->ID); ?></li>
   		<?php endforeach; ?>
   	</ul>
   <?php else: // No images ?>
   	<!-- This post has no attached images -->
   <?php endif; ?>

   All well and good. It pulls the images from the posts, and they become links to the image itself. Being a bit of PHP n00b, what I don't get is:
   a)what is creating the link to the image
   b)how can I make that link a link to the post instead of to the image.
   Is that possible to do?
   Am I asking too much of WordPress?

   Hope someone can give me some advice to save my skull caving in from hitting it against the wall.

   Cheers

   :)
