Introducing the Viva Thumbs plugin for WordPress

Here are a few words from the author:

Viva La Revolution!

Write a post -> Upload an image (using the built in WP upload facility) -> Publish.

All the thumbnails your theme needs are generated on the fly - or a category linked default image is displayed if no image was uploaded with the post.

You can even include Viva on the individual Post page so that every post has a well fitted and displayed image accompanying the text. See it in action on this demo site - upload an image but DON’T insert it into the post body and see how Viva takes the strain.

How I am using this plugin on this site
If you are like me you want your site to look clean, crisp and professional, but let’s face it - it takes time to do. It takes enough time to add an image to the post, let alone updating thumbnails throughout your site each time. This is where this plugin really shines!

I am using Viva Thumbs on this site and it has made image management a snap. The image you see to the left is automagically produced using Viva Thumbs. As are the smaller images in the category listings.
In fact, I am also using the Image Carousel Plugin, so I simply upload a single image using the image uploader and it is added to the image carousel (shows last 20 posts) on the home page, also to the category listing and then the post page itself. You can customize the size of the image and even add a reflection (like I have done to the image on the left). It’s a dream come true, and continues to save me tons of time.
