# Automatic thumbnail from post?

 * Is there any plugin that can pick the first image from a post “body” and display
   it as a thumbnail in the top of the post?
    I use the more tag to display just
   the start of a post in a blog page. Inside the posts there are several pictures.
   It would be elegant if the first image could be displayed as a thumbnail in the
   blog/ overview page – but (preferably) not in the post’s top when it is opened.
   Even better would be if the thumbnail could link directly to the post – that 
   is, open the post just like clicking the More… link. Thanks

 * Doesn’t exist?
    To put on someone’s wish-list? 🙂

 * Incredible! Just what I needed – it just needed some experimenting.
    Thanks a
   lot for a great tip! Kj – testing it out on [Dolcevita.no/wp](http://www.dolcevita.no/wp/category/basilicata/)

 * You could also try Viva Thumbs Plugin at [http://www.mediatricks.biz/demo](http://www.mediatricks.biz/demo).
   It thumbnails on the fly and adds a default category linked image if there is
   no image in the post.
