 * I am using thematic with a child theme. I have managed to get excerpts to show
   on my blog page, but wondered if I could get a thumbnail from the post to display
   as well. I would like to be able to do this using the functions.php
 * Thanks in advance
 * Rob 😉

 * Think i found a plugin for this problem.
 * [http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/](http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/)
 * I also had to modify the content-extensions.php found in library/Extensions of
   Thematic theme folder. I realise this is not best practise for upgrades, so if
   anyone could tell me how to do this using my child theme funtions.php i would
   be very grateful.
 * I changed this bit:
 *     ```
       if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       ```
   
 * from the original:
 *     ```
       if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
       		$content = 'full';
       ```
   
 * Here is the full code
 *     ```
       //creates the content
       function thematic_content() {
   
       	if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	} elseif (is_single()) {
       		$content = 'full';
       	} elseif (is_tag()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	} elseif (is_search()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	} elseif (is_category()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	} elseif (is_author()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	} elseif (is_archive()) {
       		$content = 'excerpt';
       	}
   
       	$content = apply_filters('thematic_content', $content);
   
       	if ( strtolower($content) == 'full' ) {
       		$post = get_the_content(more_text());
       		$post = apply_filters('the_content', $post);
       		$post = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $post);
       	} elseif ( strtolower($content) == 'excerpt') {
       		$post = get_the_excerpt();
       	} elseif ( strtolower($content) == 'none') {
       	} else {
       		$post = get_the_content(more_text());
       		$post = apply_filters('the_content', $post);
       		$post = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $post);
       	}
       	echo apply_filters('thematic_post', $post);
       } // end thematic_content
       ```
