Does this exist? I am looking for something like this (under the big pict) http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/h...ion/index.html

for my site:
http://www.gluesky.com/

Here is an example of where I would love to have thumbnails: http://www.gluesky.com/?cat=72

Thank you!

You are in luck.

I found Thumbnails for Excerpts plugin. Works beautifully. http://www.cnet.ro/wordpress/thumbnailforexcerpts/

See it in action at http://www.larchmontgazette.com

The only problem is that the file sizes of the thumbnails can be large. The plugin is simply scaling down the first image it finds in a post, not actually creating a thumbnail that is smaller in file size.

Oh man, I am in luck! Thank you so much!!!
