 * Hi all,
 * I am not so sure this is the right place to post this… This is not through admin
   but via scripting/coding.
 * I am creating a plugin that will create posts from external data. I have managed
   to insert posts and post meta, etc, but I haven’t yet found out how to add a 
   feature image to the post. I know how the images are saved through the wordpress
   insert functions but setting posts feature images is what I don’t know how.
 * Does anyone know the functions for this task? I can’t find it in WordPress reference.
 * Thanks.
