You should probably approach this using Views, imagefield, and imagecache.

I've never heard of dRockLatestNews and I would anticipate most people on this list haven't either. I personally don't encourage using using contributed modules that aren't hosted or supported on drupal.org. You're unlikely to find much help or support in the community otherwise.

Hi. I'd like to have the latest blog postings in an abbreviated list on my home page. Somewhat Like dRockLatestNews modules. But, each posting in the dRock modules require a thumbnail image and shows a "?" if no image is present. I don't want my users to have to create a thumbnail for every blog they post. What should I do to just get the first 100 or so chars, with a title, listing of the latest 6 or so blog postings?
