173627 Need Wordpress Expert

Hi, Thanks for looking at my post. The title says it all. I need a Wordpress expert. I need some coding help with a theme that I am switching over to. My website is a political news type site, so I update sometimes 15-20 times a day. Specifially, I need to include thumbnail images in excerpts on my index page. I don't care how it's done, as long as it's automated. I need someone to format and show me how to do it. If this is done quickly and successfully, there is more work to be done. ONLY WORDPRESS EXPERTS ONLY!!! thank you
