Basically it is an “IF” statement what do the following:
IF: there is a custom field called “Thumbnail”
THAN: Show the image from that custom field, re size it to 110 x 80 pixels and link to the article from where it’s belong.
ELSE: If there is no thumbnail image in the custom field show the image called Thumbnail.png from the themes images folder.
The code looks like this (in the excrept.php from includes folder):
<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, “Thumbnail”, true) ): ?>
