    Hi I am using a script that displays related post to the particular blog post: 

    $tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
   if ($tags) {
   echo '';
   $first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;
   $args=array(
  'tag__in' => array($first_tag),
  'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
  'showposts'=>5,
  'caller_get_posts'=>1
  );
  $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
  if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
  <li>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
  </li>
  <?php
  endwhile;
  }
  }

    But I want it to display a thumbnail image of the blog post as well. Every blog post I have a custom field with a image on. I want it to display this image resized to a thumbnail sized: 36px x 36px

    Does anyone know how do I do this? Much help is appreciated

    Thank you

    Thanks for the code … I want to implement something like that too without a plugin.

    What do you need help with? Getting the images or doing the resizing?

    Try This

    <li>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">
<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail', true); /* Replace lead_image with the name of the custom field for the image you want to use */ ?>
<img style=" margin:0px; border:0px;" width="36" height="36" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" src="<?php echo $image ?>" /></a>
  </li>
