Image Formatting: Main Article Image & Thumbnails

FFW ver1.3 introduces thumbnails to accompany your posts and also the creation of an automated slideshow at the front page. For this NEW formatting to work, it is critical that images are formatted properly.

IMPORTANT NOTE
——————————————————————
As you would know, every image that is uploaded to the system has its own specific file location/path.
Example: http://sandbox.fivefootway.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/ffw-japan-banner-1.jpg

For the purpose of formatting the Thumbnail and Main Article Image, only take the filename AFTER the ” uploads/ ” tag. i.e: for the above example, the relevant filename is ” 2007/12/ffw-japan-banner-1.jpg ”

However, there is NO change to the way you insert images in your Post.
Detailed instructions on how to set the Thumbnail and Main Article Image are listed below.
