Hi, nice explication for the new arrival to thesis. I had the similar confusion when i started...

As for guys migrating to thesis from other themes, if you have placed your image files on the same domain name as you thesis site - you may check this plugin http://creersitepro.com/2011/thumbnail-catcher-pro-for-thesis-theme-wordpress/ it will find and resize the thumbnails for teasers.

cheers,
serge

Is there any way to do this if I use Windows Live Writer to write my post?

hi there...just moved from a wordpress.com domain to my very own and am loving playing with thesis! is it possible to have a thumbnail image for teasers but NO post image appear before the headline or content? i want the teaser for visual appeal on my categories page, but often that image will already be included later in my post. i definitely dont want it showing up twice in the post. also, do you know of the plugin that will take my first image and automatically resize and use that as my thumbnail? thanks!

What's the difference between post image and thumbnail??

Hi! Thanks for the writeup! I've searched far and wide for an answer I understand but I've come up short. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why the thumbnails aren't showing up. I'm getting the "image file not present" icon instead of the thumbnail image. Would you mind looking at the site? Perhaps you can see something I missed.

The site is http://www.r6blog.com.

Many thanks if you check it out!

I have just migrated my Thesis blog with Network News skin to a new host. For some reason, none of my thumbnails are showing up anymore! Everything else is the same, but the teaser thumbnails have disappeared from the homepage, even though their link reference in the post's thumbnail section is correct.

Any help? Anyone?

I really just want the image and NO teaser text at all (also, for some reason, I can't configure my teaser settings... I went to the Design Options -> Teasers and I don't know why but even after deselecting things and saving, it STILL shows the headline, the author, the date, the number of comments [Ive disallowed them, so 0] and the category...

...very frustrated...

Are you using the resize fields to set a smaller size for the thumbnail?

I think there are WordPress plugins that will look for the first image in a post and let you use that as your teaser image, but I don't know a specific one off the top of my head. Otherwise, I'm afraid you may have to manually enter the URL into the thumbnail field for your imported posts.
