HOW THUMBNAILS SYSTEM WORK?
Since the release of WordPress 2.9 we have implemented the "Post Thumbnails" feature,
which allows you to manually what image to use as a post's thumbnail.
When adding/editing a post, on the right side you will see a box: Featured Image.
Click on it, upload an image and then click the “use as featured image” button.
If you don't upload such a thumbnail, the theme will automatically try to use as a thumbnail the
first image found in the post's content body.

If no image will be selected as Featured Image, then the theme will pull the first image from
articles content to be used as thumbnail.
FILE PERMISSIONS
GRAPHIX Theme uses the TimThumb PHP script for dynamic image resizing in some parts
of the theme.

Set folder permissions 777 (rwx-rwx-rwx) to:


/wp-content/themes/graphix/scripts/
and
/wp-content/themes/graphix/scripts/cache/
Otherwise TimThumb images resize script might not work properly.

Some important things to note:


1. TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host server with PHP 4.3+ installed.
2. On some hosts TimThumb will work with 755 permissions (rwx-rx-rx).On other hosts, you need to
set 777 only to the /cache/ folder, while keeping 755 permissions for the /scripts/ folder.
3. If you are hosting your site with HostGator, take a look at this thread to solve the TimThumb issue:

4. TimThumb requires that you use images hosted on the same domain, so you cannot insert(hotlink)
images from other sites. You have to upload them to your site first.
