* Sorry for a late reply, yes it should be ok in functions.php of the theme.
* Another thing, the theme should be enable/support the featured image/post_thumbnail.
To do this, you can use something like this: `add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');`
* To automatically add the 1st image in the post as a featured images, you need
to customised it a little bit. Since the code just for assign an image as a featured
image/post thumbnail for the post. Probably by hook into post save.

* Hi jojimori,
* This really a late reply but since I’m also had encountered such problem(automatically
add images as featured images of the post). For a several days I try to get the
solution and do some research in internet. Lastly I found the below solution(
where the code is from this [codex documentation page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_attachment).
I just make it as a function and added the last line for making it as a featured
images.
* Hopefully this will help other, remember the $post_id is the parent post ID(where
the image been attach) and the $filename is the absolute path of the image files
* ```
function set_featured_image($post_id,$filename) {
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($filename), null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($filename)),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $post_id );
// you must first include the image.php file
// for the function wp_generate_attachment_metadata() to work
require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
if (wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data )) {
// set as featured image
return update_post_meta($post_id, '_thumbnail_id', $attach_id);
}
}
```

* If you want to replace the icon then simply replace the **images/link-rss.gif**
to your own image. However, if you want to make a series of different icons,
then you can copy the .rss a { … } and give it a different name such as **.rss2,.
rss-socialicon** etc. Then copy/change the **background:url(images/link-rss.gif)
no-repeat 0 0;** to other icon image such as **background:url(images/link-socialicon.
gif) no-repeat 0 0;**
After that find below line(not sure where the author place
it-might be in your header.php or other pages) and
add a new one based on thats. For example: ….
