 * OK, I put the template file in my theme directory and added code to show a ‘read
   more…’, but am not sure how to add code to show the first image in the post. 
   Is that possible?
 * I dug around in my theme code, and couldn’t find anything that seemed to specifically
   call out post images.

 * Howdy meadwench,
 * Since this plugin is using`the_excerpt` by default, it won’t show images because`
   the_excerpt` strips formatting and images per the documentation:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt)
 * I suppose you could modify the template file to use `the_content` instead along
   with some code to tailor exactly what is shown, but that could change presentation
   of content on the whole site and could become frustrating, depending on how ninja
   your PHP skills are.
 * A better way to go would be to modify the template file to pull in the post’s
   Featured Image (aka. Post Thumbnail):

 * Hope that helps,
    Eric

 * Hey meadwench,
 * Daniel and I discussed it and it could be that you could use `the_content` along
   with the more tag, but that would require you inserting a more tag in each post
   after the content and image you’d want to display.
 * I think the easier, softer way is to go with Featured Image.
 * Cheers,
    Eric
