This plugin adds a form to your post screen that allows you to upload an image to go with your blog post. You can then use <code>the_article_image()</code> function in your theme to show the image whereever you want on your theme, at whatever size (dynamically rescaled and cached using ImageMagick so no dodgy browser rescaling or sending huge photos out).
An example of it in use is on http://www.nouse.co.uk/, where the photo alongside each post is attached, and then shown on the front page, and on the single page itself in the theme.

[catthumb id=”CategoryID” link=”true”] will find the most recent post in the specified Category with a featured image and return the thumbnail for that image. If link=”true” is specified, the image will link to the category specified.
You can optionally search custom post types with the <code>post_type</code> attribute, and specify the thumbnail size with the <code>size</code> attribute. IE <code>[catthumb id="CategoryID" link="true" post_type="restaurants" size="full"]</code>
The plugin will only search featured images, not attached images. It will not look for images embedded in the post itself, or other attached images. If a category does not have any posts with featured images, this plugin will not return a thumbnail image, even if the category has posts with attached images.

Category Thumbnail

Adds shortcode [catthumb] to embed a thumbnail image for a category.
