 * I’m trying to create a page that lists the name and link to each of its child
   pages along with a custom thumbnail image for each.
 * I created a custom field in each of the child pages called “Thumbmail” and have
   a URL entered in there.
 * I think use this code:
    [http://pastebin.com/r39edWmn](http://pastebin.com/r39edWmn)
 * The names of the child pages output fine and the links work, but the images do
   not. If you look at the source code, this is what is outputted: <img src=”” width
   =”80″ height=”80″>.
 * Any ideas why?
