It is desirable because you can modify that page, to introduce extra functionality. e.g.: Comments Meta data custom fields titles descriptions Image EXIF showing geolocation data video/audio players thumbnails of other images attached to the post, e.g. the other pictures in the gallery If it troubles you, you can ‘remove’ the feature, by making an … Read more

Since you have defined the featured image for each post with using <?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘custombig’ ); // or another custom size name ?> should be enough, for info you can read: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/11/16/everything-you-need-to-know-about-wordpress-2-9s-post-image-feature http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/new-in-wordpress-2-9-post-thumbnail-images/ Or here there is good info too: How wordpress handle upload images and how to use them in the code
You need to hook into two WordPress filters. function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) { return 20; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_length’, ‘custom_excerpt_length’, 999 ); http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_length function custom_excerpt_more( $more ) { return ‘[…..]’; } add_filter( ‘excerpt_more’, ‘custom_excerpt_more’ ); http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/excerpt_more

Since you already know your $post_image_id, you can use wp_get_attachment_src() $small = wp_get_attachment_src($post_image_id, ‘smallest-size’); $large = wp_get_attachment_src($post_image_id, ‘full’); $smallURL = $small[0]; $largeURL = $large[0]; where ‘smallest-size’ is the name of the image-size you have predefined in add_image_size()
The best approach is to serve the smaller image sizes, that is what matters to the end user. If you do the math on something like 5 slider images (large ones) you will see a pretty significant difference. Image sizes are in most cases the largest request. The downside is simply having more storage on … Read more
The sequencing part will be handled automatically by wordpress. if you want to change the filename, you can do this : function k99_custom_upload_name($filename) { $info = pathinfo($filename); $ext = empty($info[‘extension’]) ? ” : ‘.’ . $info[‘extension’]; $filename=”put your name here”; return $filename; } add_filter(‘sanitize_file_name’, ‘k99_custom_upload_name’, 10); Because wordpress will handle the sequencing , your files … Read more
You may want to look into the walker class. I’ve used it to add down arrows to WordPress created menus and added my own css div’s and sections. Perhaps you could add a box using the Walker Menu, then set its background to a certain image on :hover etc… class My_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { function … Read more
The real workhorses behind wp_get_attachment_image_src are image_downsize & image_get_intermediate_size. Between the two, they’ll attempt to find the largest image available that fits within the constraints of the required size. The return value of wp_get_attachment_image_src will be: Array( [0] => ‘source of image that best fits’, [1] => ‘width of source image’ [2] => ‘height of … Read more
