WordPress Tutorial (2.8.4) Lifestyle Theme, Adding Images, Thumbnails, etc.

A quick overview of Brian Gardner’s StudioPress Lifestyle theme. I walk through adding/changing the thumbnail images on the home page (resizing), adding text, image, and “featured text” to the Featured Content Gallery on the home page, editing some basic text formatting in a post and finally using the Random Quotes plugin.Click image to left to view video.

If you using Lifestyle 4.0 version than the custom field needs to be named only thumb and it will work just fine. At least it works fine on my site.

Regards.
