 * Hi,
 * I am currently creating a portfolio site using WordPress as the CMS I have created
   a query for my featured post so I can display a few thumbnails:
 *     ```
       $featured = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=6');
   
       while ($featured->have_posts()):
       $featured->the_post();
       ```
   
 * I then need to call the thumbnails but I have been having trouble with the next
   bit of php:
 *     ```
       for ($p=; $p<=24; $i++) {
       $featured = get_post_meta($p, 'thumbnail_1', true);
       $link = bloginfo('url')."?p=".$p;
       }
       echo "<a href='".$link."'><img src='".$featured."' class='thumbnail' alt='thumbnail'/></a>";
       ```
   
 * Help!
 * Thanks,
    Sam
