Using Featured Images in WordPress

robcubbon.com If you don’t want to code this into your own theme you could use any Genesis theme robcubbon.com – that’s an affiliate link. The video explains how to assign a Featured Image to a post and how to set up Featured Images within a WordPress theme. It shows the example of displaying a string of logos that are linked to a blog post in a particular category. Featured Images in posts or pages is yet another example of how WordPress is not only a brilliant blogging platform but also an adaptable CMS (Content Management System). The basic idea behind Featured Images is the ability to set a thumbnail, or any size of image, to an article so that when that article is listed in the site the featured image can appear as well. It creates an easy visual reference (which is worth a thousand words!) alongside the text-based title and description of your post or page which is so much more enticing and will make your visitors more likely to stay and read more! My main blog page robcubbon.com is an example of using Featured Images in WordPress. For every post I have set a generic thumbnail image that sums up the content of the article. So for each post you can see the image, the title and the excerpt. A really simple example of using Featured Images First of all, you need a theme that supports Featured Images. If so, you will see this box on the right-hand side when you create a new post or page. If you can’t see this box it means your theme isn’t set up to support Featured

Problems with WordPress themes?

I’ve been trying to install a theme on http://www.anthrolabs.com however once I upload everything it doesn’t look like the sample on the website I got it from…am I doing something wrong, can someone maybe try it out or something? The theme is "Reflection" and it can be found at http://themey.com/reflection-wordpress-theme/

Thanks

What is the best wordpress plugin for images?

Hi there – I run a wordpress blog and when I upload images, it’s a total pain to re-size them in the "manage post" section (especially for very large images). I usually end up resizing them and then uploading them. I would prefer to just upload the full size image, but haven’t found an easy to use plugin. Other than the flickr plugins, has anyone had good experience with any wordpress plugins for images?
