If you look at the home page of this site, you’ll see the featured content glider. It’s easy to add one of these gliders to your site, and here’s how to do it.
If you look at the top navigation bar of this site, you’ll see a page link for “Portfolio.” If you hover over that link, you will also see 3 other Portfolio page options. It’ very easy to create such a page.
To add post thumbnail images to your posts, you have 2 options …
This plugin, created by a savvy WordPress developer named Justin Tadlock, will greatly simplify the task of placing your post thumbnail images right where they belong.
Download the plugin here or add it through your WordPress control panel. Install and activate.
1. It will look for any images that you’ve uploaded to your post.
2. If it finds one or more images, it will automatically place the 1st image – as a thumbnail – where it belongs on your site.
3. If you have uploaded multiple images to your post, it will use the #1 image as set in the gallery section of your media uploader (click thumbnail to the right).
4. If you don’t want the image to appear in the post content, just don’t insert it into the post. The plugin will still grab the 1st image you’ve uploaded to the post and place it correctly.
5. If you don’t upload any images for the post, a default image will appear unless you deactivate that feature on your Theme Settings page.
If, for whatever reason, you prefer not to use the plugin, you can simply use custom fields. With this method, you will need to scroll down to the Custom Fields section on the Write Post screen and fill in the appropriate data.
