 * Hi all.
 * Since the question sounds very common, I guess it was already asked… But I didn’t
   find it.
 * WP is very new to the French guy I am.
    Well, I just installed WP 2.0.2 and I
   am looking for how to : – Insert PHP resized (with GD2 library) thumbnails inside
   posts. Theses thumbnails would link to full size images. – Insert PHP resized
   posts images on index and category pages. What I call “PHP resized images” are
   light images dynamicly resized (Vs HTML attributes resizing, which loads the 
   full size image).
 * It seems the WP core has none of these features ?
    Do any plugins have ?
 * Thank you for your help

 * Currently WP has a nifty little image uploader that will help you make thumbs
   of your images for posts. Have you tried that? You can then make the thumbs clickable
   to a larger image.
    Once you get that figured out, this will help to automate
   the process a little better. [http://guff.szub.net/2006/02/09/post-image/](http://guff.szub.net/2006/02/09/post-image/)

 * Thank you a lot Silencematters.
 * I’ve tried it and it looks interesting.
 * However, thumbnails are resized via HTML attributes. Then, index and category
   pages may become very “heavy”, loaded with plenty of “big images”.
 * Any other solution ?

 * use phpthumb [http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/](http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/)
 * very versatile and easy to use.
 * But i dont know if you can integrate it directly to work in wordpress

 * nza2k,
    You know, I was trying to get a handle on that myself.. I wasnt sure 
   if they were being re-sized just by using the html, or if WordPress was actually
   creating a thumbnail that was smaller in size. Your topic was right in along 
   the lines of what I am looking to do,.. so it was nice to help and maybe get 
   more momentum on this topic.

    Actually WP does resize the image. It creates a 96 x 96 px thumb.

 * Indeed, it creates it. But it doesn’t create an HTML page that displays the full
   size image (inside a template we could choose) which is linked by the thumbnail.
 * That is what I would like to do but I wonder if I won’t go simplier…
