How difficult would it be to write a Drupal module from a Wordpress plugin? The plugin checks to see if the first line of your post is an url to an image. If it is, the image is fetched using curl, resized using ImageMagick, and the url is replaced with an image tag. There aren't any Drupal modules available that do something similar (from what I've seen).

I've started to look at the module documentation to get an idea of how to accomplish this, but I'm not really a PHP programmer. I'm more familiar with web design/database. Since there is already a WP plugin that does what I want, I don't need to do a lot of coding. I'm just not sure about how to incorporate it into Drupal.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.

You want to create a custom Drupal filter. Take a look through the documentation on filter modules, they are about the easiest Drupal module you can create. My first module was a filter module. If you are familiar at all with Php, this should be no problem.
