 * Hi people, thanks for you support earlier.
    I’m almost done setting up my blog:
   [http://www.tropunk.com/myblog/](http://www.tropunk.com/myblog/) There’s just
   a slight problem with my theme: As you can see, there’s a slide-panel on the 
   top to add thumbnails of my posts. To add a thumbnail, I have to first add the
   image in my post and then it requires to add a custom field ‘homethumb’ and file
   name of the image as value. I did it but it didn’t seem to work. Then I saw the
   php code that generates the link for my thumbnail: `<a href="<?php the_permalink()?
   >" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" > <img src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/
   uploads/<? echo strtolower($homethumb); ?>.jpg" width="200" height="120" alt="
   <?php the_title(); ?>"/> </a>` And here I figured out the error. The link generated
   is /wp-content/uploads/filename.jpg; whereas, the image uploaded goes to /wp-
   content/uploads/2010/01/filename.jpg (As the uploads are now year/month classified)
 * So can anyone add the year/month variable in the link generator code?
    If not
   then, any mod to make my uploads stay only in one directory irrespective of time?
 * Thanks for the help.

 * The image that you can see now is manually added in /wp-content/uploads/ 🙂

 * Solved: Unchecked the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”
   
   Sorry to trouble, didn’t see that before!
