 * Are you thinking about a thumbnail of an image with a link to the image itself?
   Or are you thinking about a category picture?
    As the first is done from the 
   media-uploader, right after you’ve inserted your image. Are you thinking about
   the second thing look here: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-icons/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-icons/)

 * Make sure the image is in wp-contents/uploads
 * Then, create a custom-field with “homethumb” as key, and set its value as the
   name of the image.
 * That’s pretty much it!

 * You can give it a try with an other theme… there are lot of Magazine style themes
   out there… Yes, I like this one too, but think about your visitors experience:
