Thanks a lot for updating the code with so many helpful changes. I just replied to your comment on the previous post and then saw your tweet about the updates. The video was helpful too. Great job, Andrew!

I have a similar script running on wpengineer.com.For the default images i use a handwritten array. Your idea with saving the default images in the options is better. One idea: Allow more images to a category and use something like array_shuffle to select a random image .
Thank you, Micha

Will this show all images attached to a post? The code looks like it does but I'm only seeing the first one.

No it will only show one. This is a replacement for the custom field technique not a replacement for the gallery shortcode.

Question if I may ... how does one change the dimensions at which the images are displayed? I'm particularly interested in changing the dimensions of 'medium'.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew, this code looks like just the ticket for me. Being new to WordPress I've found it frustrating how "buried" all this access to post images is - and had no joy on the WP support forums.
How can I use your the-image tag outside of the loop? e.g. to display the first image attached to a specific post on my static homepage. I'm currently using a custom-field but I'd prefer to create a unique post to manage this image element on my homepage - it'll bjust be much easier for my non-techy client to manage!
Thanks for generously posting your code.

Dan, the functions within the loop depend on the $post global variable being set. If it is set then the function should work. However, the usual way is to create a new loop containing the posts you want, and then use it as normal.
