 * Maybe I missed something…but how would I go about adding my own custom thumbnail
   to posts that do not have one?

 * Hi,
 * You could use the `thumbnail_filler` parameter to display a placeholder when 
   thumbnails have not been set, check out this example: [Thumbnails with Placeholders](http://testlab.8elite.com/thumbnail-placeholders/)
 * Nonetheless, you can’t display personalized placeholders, right now your options
   are: placeholder (by default), kittens and puppies.
 * Of course if you want your posts to display a thumbnail you have to set a featured
   image when you’re editing a post.
 * Finally if you want to edit the code to add your own placeholder provider, you
   could find and replace these lines:
 *     ```
       // Placeholder provided by Placehold.it
       case 'placeholder':
            echo "<a href='".$all_permalinks[$field->guid]."'><img src='http://placehold.it/".$thumbnail_wh."&text=".$field->post_title."' alt='".$field->post_title."' title='".$field->post_title."' /></a>";
            break;
       // Just for fun Kittens thanks to PlaceKitten
       case 'kittens':
            echo "<a href='".$all_permalinks[$field->guid]."'><img src='http://placekitten.com/".$thumbnail_size[0]."/".$thumbnail_size[1]."' alt='".$field->post_title."' title='".$field->post_title."' /></a>";
            break;
       // More fun Puppies thanks to PlaceDog
       case 'puppies':
            echo "<a href='".$all_permalinks[$field->guid]."'><img src='http://placedog.com/".$thumbnail_size[0]."/".$thumbnail_size[1]."' alt='".$field->post_title."' title='".$field->post_title."' /></a>";
            break;
       ```
   
 * Just remember if you make changes to the code they will be erased when updating
   to a new version.
 * Cheers.
