 * Everything works perfectly! The only thing I can’t figure out is this:
 * When the category shows up on the new page, it shows my avatar as the image. 
   I’d like it to show the image I’ve set as “featured”. How can I change this?
 * This page will only hold recipes so I need it to show the picture of the recipe.
   Thanks!

 * Hi
    I just installed this plugin (it is great!) and I wanted the same thing as
   you. As I just installed it I do not know if there is a better way with creating
   a new template, but what I did (and it works) was to edit the html code under
   the template tab.
 * Where it says:
    <div style=”float:left; margin:7px”> %post_author_avatar% </div
   > replace the %post_author_avatar% with %post_thumbnail% .
 * That gave me the post thumbnail instead of the author avatar, but the thumbnail
   was not clickable (link to post). So I did one more tweak and the final code 
   that replaces the original <div style=”float:left; margin:7px”> %post_author_avatar%
   </div> is:
 * `<div style="float:left; margin:7px;"> <a title="Permanent Link to %post_title%"
   rel="bookmark" href="%post_permalink%">%post_thumbnail%</a> </div>`
 * That works for me. Now I am trying to figure out how to change the size of the
   thumbnail.

 * I changed the size of the thumbnail in blog-in-blog.php file, on line 90 there
   is ‘thumbnail_size’ => ‘thumbnail’, if you put ‘full’ the size is not enymore
   150×150.

 * It’d be nice if there was a template tag like %post_thumbnail_url% so you could
   just insert the URL of a post’s thumbnail into your template. I’d like to do 
   this, but all they have available is %post_thumbnail%, which generates the full
   <img> HTML for the thumbnail image, whereas I just want the URL to the thumbnail
   image.
