If you’re looking for a plugin to automatically create a thumbnail for your excerpt, try this one. As with other plugins we test on this site, we are not associated with the plugin author.
Thumbnail for Excerpts is described by the author as: “Thumbnail For Excerpts search the post for the first image. If exists, than it will search for the thumbnail created by default by WordPress for the image, if it was uploaded from WP administration area. If not, it will show the image itself, but of course, scaled…”
The thumbnail of this post was generated using this plugin.
Excellent for news sites or other sites like photoblogs.
