Our next project requires us to use teaser thumbnails for articles. We have been hired by The Seedy Grapevine, a local social gossip column, to create an online version of its weekly rag. One of its requirements is to add an optional teaser image to its articles, which will display as a thumbnail on the front page and a larger image on the article page.

As is usually the case, there are many possible solutions to this need. But because it's not paying us much, and we want to just get the job done quickly, we're going to do the easiest thing we can. Yet its editors will be happy because the quick route is also easy for them to use. It's out of the box, and though there are certainly more complex solutions (often required for complex needs), our solution will harness the power of the Image module that we've already seen.
