   Wondering if anyone knows (or if it's even possible) to use more than one Post Thumbnail in WP 2.9.

   I have my functions.php set up as:
   

   <?php if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { // Added in 2.9
   	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
   	set_post_thumbnail_size( 100, 35, true ); // Normal post thumbnails
   	add_image_size( 'single-post-thumbnail', 400, 9999 ); // Permalink thumbnail size
   }?>

   And call my image (on my homepage) I set when writing a post as:
   <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

   Is there a way to add more than one Post Thumbnail when writing a post and have it displayed?

   Thanks! :]

   I don't think so, but what are you trying to accomplish? There may be a better way around that.

   I wanted to use this to place additional photos of a post on the homepage along side the main image being displayed for each post.

   Ultimately, I could do it with custom fields but I like the ease of the feature of the new Thumbnail option.

   That's probably going to be the best way about it, unless you make a plugin. Which is how Post Thumbnails started in the first place ;)

   You don't need a plugin, you can use wp_get_attachment_image or wp_get_attachment_image_src to retrieve the post attached images.

   @vteixeira: Woah, I didn't know wp had that built in. Do I need to include anything in functions.php to use that?

   After looking into this a bit more...this is what I did. Not sure if it's right or wrong, but it seems to work.

   In functions.php:
   

   <?php $args = array(
   'post_type' => 'attachment',
   'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   'post_parent' => $post->ID
   );
   $images = get_posts( $args );
   foreach($images as $image):
   endforeach;
   ?>

   Inside the loop:
   <?php echo wp_get_attachment_image($images[0]->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?>

   Using [0],[1]...etc to set the number of images I wanted.

   Thoughts?

   ^^above actually displays the same images for every single post instead of using images per each post. Anyway to fix that?
