    Sitewide tags plugin, plus Justin Tadlock's Get the Image plugin.

    andrea_r, could you explain a little further how this is done? In the sitewide tags blog, I enabled the Get the Image plugin. Then I added <?php get_the_image(); ?> to one of my templates. But nothing happened. Do I need to switch-to-blog or something?

    Thanks.

    make sure it's in the right template to start. :) (obvious & dumb, but I gotta say it).

    also - make sure the posts being pulled in have images. how are they attached to the post? embedded? custom fields? just a link?

    check the spruce of the page to see what info is *is* pulling, if anything.

    you may have to include more variables in that function to get the images to display, like tell it to pull the first image it finds on the post, for instance. (it's in the get the image docs).

    thanks. image_scan helps, but it's not picking up images that are simply attached.

    Check in the backend of the tags blog. I'm betting it doesn't pull thru the images as attached to the post, is why.
