 * What I’m looking for is a plugin that will display the image associated with 
   a post.
 * For example, I attach an image to my post when writing it, and it appears as 
   a linked thumbnail in my post page. Is there a plugin that will automatically
   generate another, smaller thumbnail, which I can use on my site’s **front page**,
   with all of this happening automatically?
 * Something similar to what I’ve got at [http://www.btccaction.co.uk](http://www.btccaction.co.uk)
   right now, where the current image has been placed there manually I’d like this
   to happen automatically. Else lots of editing reuiqred!
 * Ultimately I’m looking for a similar effect to [http://www.rapnews.co.uk/](http://www.rapnews.co.uk/)
   if that’s done automatically of course!

 * there’s a way to do this, but you’ll need to use custom fields and do it per 
   post, but it’s fairly quick once you get into doing it.
 * rapnews is using custom fields for that, because if you click on one of the posts
   on that front page, that image isn’t necessarily inside the actual post.
 * the only problem is that i’m not sure exactly how it’s done, but i know that **
   chait** knows how to do it… [http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=238](http://www.chait.net/index.php?p=238)(
   that’s his page of plugins, but you might be able to contact him there and ask
   for help)

 * I’m bumping this because the original poster describes _exactly_ what I’m looking
   for – Post-Image is too technical for some of my users. They just need to upload
   a file that gets stored with the post. Any idea if something like this has been
   built in the last ten months?
