 * Hey,
 * I have a question about adding thumbnails to individual posts. First look at 
   my uploaded image.
 * [Example](http://www.meelhuysendesign.nl/images/post.png)
 * I want to do a couple of things:
    1. I want to add an image to my post which 
   automatically will be resized to a certain size (in this case 100x100px). 2. 
   I (always) want to overlay this thumbnail with a semi-transparent PNG-image given
   it the look in my example. 3. It has to be positioned top-left in my post. 4.(
   For my client) it has to be easy to do.
 * I can manage a part of it hard-coded by using two divs (one for the actual image
   and one for the overlay image) and positioning them absolute and playing around
   with z-indexes. But I cannot figure it out using WordPress (as a CMS).
 * So, what is the best solution, and what do I have to look for?

 * When working on a local server and having troubles with the media library, take
   a look at this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/353296?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/353296?replies=5)
