# Recent post Plugin With Thumbnails??

 * I use the recent posts plugin from [http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/](http://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/)
   and was wondering if there’s a way to modify it so it displays a thumbnail of
   the photo used in a post, next to the post title in the recent posts list.
 * I guess it could be done by adding a custom field to each post that associates
   a thumbnail to that post, then calling it within the plugin, but I have very 
   limited knowledge of PHP and coding plugins.
 * Does something like this already exist? If not, is there someone here who could
   lend a hand?
 * BTW: I already contacted the plugin author and he pointed me here.

 * Do you have an example of this plugin being used somewhere?

 * No I don’t, but I have seen lots of sites that have similar things, for instance,
   what this site [http://www.gizmag.com/](http://www.gizmag.com/) has going on 
   in the left sidebar, or [http://www.sploid.com](http://www.sploid.com) (those
   are just examples).
 * I’d like to do something similar and have it automated with plugins. A recent
   posts list that includes a thumbnail next to each item.

 * Oh wait, you mean an example of a site using the regular recent posts plugin?
   If that’s what you were referring to, one of my sites, [http://www.bloglogic.net](http://www.bloglogic.net)
   has it in the right side.
