The idea is to help your visitors navigate as well as providing more internal linking which can help with search engine rankings. <p>Upon request the plugin will generate a new post that contains images and links to your most recent posts. The images are properly scaled thumbnails, which look better than just scaling using HTML and are also much smaller and faster to download. The generated post is saved as a draft so that you can edit it before publishing if so desired.</p>[<a href="http://www.softsift.com/wp-content/uploads/thumbnailsummary1.3.zip">download the wordpress plugins</a>]<br /><br /><p><u><strong>Installation</strong></u></p> <ol><li>Download <a id="p706" href="http://www.softsift.com/wp-content/uploads/thumbnailsummary1.3.zip">thumbnailsummary.zip</a><br />and unzip the 3 source files: st-thumbnail-creation.php, st-thumbnail-summary-options.php and st-thumbnail-summary.php</li><li>Upload all files to your plugin directory</li><li>Log in to your WordPress Admin Screen and go to <em>Plugins</em>, find <em>Thumbnail Summary</em> and activate it</li><li>That’s it.</li></ol> <p><u><strong>Usage Instructions</strong></u></p> <ol><li>In order to generate a thumbnail summary log in to your WordPress Admin Screen and go to <em>Write</em>, next to <em>Write Post </em>and <em>Write Page</em> you should now see <em>Write Thumbnail Summary</em>, click this.</li><li>On the <em>Create Thumbnail Summary Page</em> ensure that the options are correct, set the post title to what ever you choose and click <em>Create Post</em> and OK to confirm.</li><li>The thumbnails and post should now be created and saved as Draft (so not visible on the blog yet).
