This did not work for me. I am changing it back and working on it some more

I really wanted to use the glass theme, but could not get timthumb.php to work. I did everything but a deliverance on the script, to no avail. It certainly may be a hosting issue, but I wanted a work around.

Came across this post about the "Post Thumbnails" feature in Wordpress (http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/wordpress-29-postthumbnail-to-replace-timthumb/20900). Noticed that themolitor even commented favorably on it.

So I found another website which explained how to enable the feature, and modify an existing theme in their environment to make it work. It is located on a competitors website, so for courtesy's sake, I am not posting the location — though thanks to Brian Gardner for his helpful commentary on this.

Here is all I did:

I enabled the "Post Thumbnails" by posting this script in the functions.php file (located in the wpglass folder).

// Enable post thumbnail support and set new image sizes
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'Featured Top', 70, 70, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'Featured Bottom', 110, 110, TRUE );

I posted the script just before the final ?> in the file so now the last seven lines of the file looks like this:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'create_meta_box' );
add_action( 'save_post', 'save_meta_box' );
// Enable post thumbnail support and set new image sizes
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'Featured Top', 70, 70, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'Featured Bottom', 110, 110, TRUE );
?>

Then I replaced all of the code in the thumbnail.php (also located in the wpglass folder) with the following:

<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘Featured Top’ ); ?>

Yes, that is all the code I am using in that file.

Lastly, open the Stylesheet (style.css) located in the dashboard:appearance:editor. Look for the .thumb occurrence and change it to .wp-post-image.

I also modified the border size (from 1px to 10px, and the width down to 80px so that the thumbnails appears better on my blog. The whole line now looks like this:

div.post .wp-post-image {border: 10px solid #b5b5b5; float: left; margin-right: 20px; width:80px;}

That's it. All you need to do now is upload your images, and select the "Use as Featured Image" choice now visible next to "Insert Image." Save all changes.
