#1 This example checks if the post has a thumbnail image attached to it.

If there is no image, we will display the default one (we'll define it ourselves by uploading the file to the images folder of our theme).

<?php 
// must be inside the loop
if( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	the_post_thumbnail();
}
else {
	echo '<img src="'.get_bloginfo("template_url").'/images/img-default.png" />';
}
?>
