Comments are written throughout the template files to aid your customisation. Once downloaded please read the readme.html in the instructions folder for general F.A.Qs.

Thank you – I hadn’t come across that plug-in before and it looks really useful.
I used the excerpt editor plugin http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wordpress-excerpt-editor/ Then put the following into the excerpt box when you write your post.

<img src="path to image" alt="Alternative" height="85" width="85" />
</div>
<p class="title">The contents of the excerpt</p>
Then style it and position it in my stylesheet. There are a few other methods floating around on the web but this one suits me.
A very nice, airy theme. Thank you. Any chance of some clues on including a thumbnail image alongside the post extracts as you do here? I find the homepage a little stark without that.
