 * Would there be a way I can add in an image upload field, which then assigns to
   be the post’s Featured Image?

 * I thought about featured images already and will include this functionality in
   the next release.

 * Mh, yesterday I said I wanted to work on it. In fact this wasn’t really necessary
   since featured images are supported for a long time. I’ve just been a bit confused
   because so many users asked for it. Could it be that you just aren’t used to 
   use the “new” media uploader WordPress provides? Whenever I click on the media
   button I see the featured image link at the left hand side of the uploader. I
   just click on it and after that I upload a new image or select one from the media
   library to use as the featured image. That’s all – the same way it works in the
   backend? Maybe I am missing something here?

 * The featured image does indeed work. I think the problem stems from people that
   may want the featured image as something like a required field, or at least prominently
   displayed.
 * As it is now, it’s somewhat of a hidden feature. This is due to WordPress design,
   but the backend does have it both in the Media Upload and a separate field — 
   thus easier to spot and add.
 * This plugin does it fairly nicely by adding the featured image to the top of 
   the post form: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-frontend/)
 * I’ve been trying a few different plugins with front-end posting and it seems 
   that the very few that are out there are good but all of them seem a bit incomplete(
   of course yours is very new and still in beta, so that’s a given).
 * My favorite so far, out of the box without any editing, has been Front-end Editor:
   [http://wordpress.org/plugins/front-end-editor/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/front-end-editor/)
 * The way it handles editing of current articles is great, but it has less functionality
   than the one posted above: no guest posting; awkward way of implementing front-
   end posting; no way of viewing your currently pending posts (if you’re on an 
   account without access to wp-admin and want to see it on the front end), etc.
 * Anyway, sorry for the lengthy post. I’ve been enjoying your plugin so far and
   I’ll keep an eye with your progress. There’s a lot of potential with this one!

 * Thanks for this calrification Tecca. I will see if I can do something about it.
