			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of the designs I develop into <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> Themes require that each page have a unique image. Often the image is separate from the content so I need to use  <strong>Featured Image</strong>. Once this is added, a new editing block will be added to both your &#8220;pages&#8221; and your &#8220;posts&#8221;.</p>
<p>To get this in your theme, open your functions.php file and add the following PHP script.</p>
<blockquote><p>if ( function_exists( &#8216;add_theme_support&#8217; ) ) {<br />
add_theme_support( &#8216;post-thumbnails&#8217; );<br />
}</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-468" style="margin-left: 15px;" title="feature_image" src="http://www.thingsfromthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/feature_image-300x255.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="255" />Once added both pages and post areas will have a new editing block called <strong>Featured Image</strong>. (If you do not see it then press the &#8220;Screen Options&#8221; and select <strong>Featured Image</strong> checkbox to display it).</p>
<p>To use it click on the &#8220;Set Featured Image&#8221; link and upload your image. Once uploaded, be sure to click &#8220;Use as featured image&#8221; within the image uploader and the image will be added <strong>Featured Image</strong> block.</p>
<p>So now that you have a <strong>feature image</strong> with your post or page, you&#8217;ll need to output it on your theme. Where you are looking to add your image, place the following PHP code.</p>
<blockquote><p>if (has_post_thumbnail( $post-&gt;ID )) {<br />
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post-&gt;ID ), &#8216;single-post-thumbnail&#8217; );<br />
}</p></blockquote>
<p>This will give the variable $image (an array) with the location of the image. So then you will just need to add your html code for image.</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&#8221;&lt;?php echo $image[0]; ?&gt;&#8221; border=&#8221;0&#8243; /&gt;</p>
<p>Now you will be able to add a <strong>featured image</strong> to your website. Enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thingsfromthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/545C.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-445" style="margin-left: 15px;" title="3D Glasses" src="http://www.thingsfromthenet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/545C-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a>With the release of Avatar in 3D, more and more movies are jumping ship to the 3D scene. I have a big annoyance with this. Now I have nothing against 3D movies however movie decision markers are releasing movies with poorly 3D effects. To me, it seems like a movie is being created and then they are converting it to 3D in post production. Hence none of the shots are setup with 3D in mind.</p>
<p>Recently I watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253864/" target="_blank">Immortals</a> and if it wasn&#8217;t wearing 3D glasses, I wouldn&#8217;t have had known that was watching a 3D movie. The only 3D effect that stood out to be notice was some blood splatter. If I had the option to watch this in non-3D I would have but unfortunately the movie theatre did not provide any other showings. (Side Note: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253864/" target="_blank">Immortals</a> is a good movie and worth going to see in the theatre.) On the other side, I also recently watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1268799/" target="_blank">A Very Harold &amp; Kumar 3D Christmas</a> which had amazing 3D effects and was clearly shot for 3D with 3D in mind. Granted it was over the top with 3D but if you want a movie that isn&#8217;t quite over the top but still with plenty of 3D effects, then check out <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220634/" target="_blank">Resident Evil: Afterlife</a>. Again a movie made for 3D with quality3D effects. (Side Note: The shower sequence where Milla and Ali fight it out with one of the special zombies is spectacular especially in 3D.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how many other people will agree with me on this and I would love to hear some comments. I can tell that some of my friends that I bring this discussion up with just nod and tolerate my ranting. Probably more because I keep bringing it up rather than if they agree with me or not. I would love if movie decision makers would reconsider some movies they are releasing in 3D. I&#8217;m sure its about getting a couple extra dollars they are getting per customer but have some class. Please.</p>
