 * Can I force to display a smaller version of the image when I use the_post_thumbnail()
   function to display image in my template files.
    As I dont wish to show the full
   image
 * I have tried:
    the_post_thumbnail( ‘medium’ );
 * but it still showing the original image

 * Hi,
 * i don’t know how your theme works, but how are you sure that it is showing the
   full image ?
 * if you have a theme downloaded from wordpress.org you can create a thread in 
   the respected forum and the author might be able to help you.
