Automatically adds images to posts without having to edit the post.

== Description ==

Automatically adds images to posts without having to edit the post.

Images tagged with the POSTID are displayed on that post. If the thumbnail option is enabled the plugin will use thumbnails in the post to link to the full size images. The plugin will automatically create thumbnails when needed.

Usage: Rename images with prefix 'Image\_POSTID' where 'POSTID' is ID of post where the image should be displayed. Multiple images can be attached to a post simply by ensuring that all of them have the same prefix. For posts that do not have images a default "Image coming soon' image is displayed; this can be disabled from the settings screen. 

Example Image Name: Image\_66.jpg, Image\_66\_a.jpeg, Image\_66\_two.gif, etc.
