 * This is related to my [previous](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/402445?replies=1)
   problem.
 * Short version: My WP admin interface was acting up with not rendering pages properly.
   Isolated the cause to a getImage() function in functions.php
 * I’m seeking alternative suggestions on automatically generating thumbnails for
   my front page.
 * Cheers

 * Do you want thumbnails from ie posts on you startpage?
    There is a built-in function
   in wordpress for thumbnails! add this to your functions.php-file: `add_theme_support('
   post-thumbnails');`
 * Read more about using thumbnails here:
