I am new to Wordpress and am having a slight issue. I have a "featured" posts section at the top of my index page that shows 3 recent posts from the featured category. Everything shows up fine except the post image. So I see the "post_summary" and the "post_type" (custom fields) but not the image from "post_image". I enter the picture like: /wp-content/uploads/2010/09/samplepicture.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...oh and the code is below : )
