Just to update the thread, I tested with WP 3.1 and Count-Per-Day 2.16 and the blog is working fine; no modification is needed.

Thanks Tom.

Hey Tom,
Thanks for reading and thanks for your consideration.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks kkarpieszuk. That is very helpful.

@mkearl, so far i havent seen one. Not sure i have time to make it a proper plugin. Maybe someone could improve the code into a plugin?

I ended up with my own function that i wrote to get the first image of the post and create a thumbnail on the fly.

function catch_that_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  $new_img_tag = "";

  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];

  if(empty($first_img)){ //Defines a default image with 0 width
  $new_img_tag = "<img src='./images/bargainsfrenzy.com.gif' class='alignleft' />";
  }

  else{
    echo $new_img_tag = "<img src='./thumb.php?gd=2&src=".$first_img."&maxw=120' class='alignleft' />";
  }

  return $new_img_tag;
}

Then i hacked the WPTouch theme (i added the catch_that_image() into functions.php) and I hacked the WPTouch’s index.php to call catch_that_image() instead.

It works for me for now; I am still open for the ‘featured image’ solution though..
