 * Following [Jay Versluis](http://wpguru.co.uk/2013/10/how-to-use-your-own-random-header-images-in-twentythirteen/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wpguru-co-uk+%28The+WP+Guru%29)
   instructions, and with the assistance of cubecolor, I was able to implement a
   plugin to use my random header images in TwentyThirteen. It is working beautifully
   and I don’t even look at it so I don’t mess it up.
 * As you will appreciate, the code from Versluis uses a thumbnail to be displayed
   at the child theme’s Custom Header Default Images section.
 * > ‘header1’ => array(
   >  ‘url’ => ‘[http://wp-multisites.com/w/wp-content/headers/header_01.png&#8217](http://wp-multisites.com/w/wp-content/headers/header_01.png&#8217);,‘
   > thumbnail_url’ => ‘[http://wp-multisites.com/w/wp-content/headers/header_01](http://wp-multisites.com/w/wp-content/headers/header_01)
   > copy.png’, ‘description’ => __( ‘Header 1’, ‘twentythirteen’ ) ),
 * What I would like to know is how can I implement some sort of function that will
   also use that thumbnail and automatically install it as the background for the
   widget areas, post titles and meta.
 * Any assistance is appreciated.
