Ok I have a list of current blogs on a page and what I am trying to do is put little avatar on the side of each blog post. Now I have the code for the avatar but I can not figure out where to put it...... I mean even if i can get something posting on the side of each link would help me at this point:


For example right now im getting this on my page:


Recent blog posts:
Trev's Blog - ( Team Pontiac ) My Take on Season 2 Line Up
BULLRUN II on SPEED: A KICK ASS LINE UP!
Cannonball Heritage?


and what i want is this....


Recent blog posts:
[picture] Trev's Blog - ( Team Pontiac ) My Take on Season 2 Line Up
[picture] BULLRUN II on SPEED: A KICK ASS LINE UP!
[picture] Cannonball Heritage?



So like i said if i can just get a text variable on the side of each link i'll work on the avatar script.... Any Ideas? The code I found that affects the header Recent blog posts is below now there are 2 other files in that folder blog.info and blog.pages.inc....

Below is the code that impliments the block that lists the blogs it is the blog.module file found in modules/blog

* Implementation of hook_block().
 *
 * Displays the most recent 10 blog titles.
 */
function blog_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0) {
  global $user;
  if ($op == 'list') {
    $block[0]['info'] = t('Recent blog posts');
    return $block;
  }
  else if ($op == 'view') {
    if (user_access('access content')) {
      $result = db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT n.nid, n.title, n.created FROM {node} n WHERE n.type = 'blog' AND n.status = 1 ORDER BY n.created DESC"), 0, 10);
      if ($node_title_list = node_title_list($result)) {
        $block['content'] = $node_title_list;
        $block['content'] .= theme('more_link', url('blog'), t('Read the latest blog entries.'));
        $block['subject'] = t('Recent blog posts');
        return $block;
      }
    }
  }
}

I would recommend overriding the template for blog nodes ('node-blog.tpl.php'):
Have a look here: http://drupal.org/node/190815

You have to create node-blog.tpl.php by copying and modifying node.tpl.php.

But don't bother, as it does not address the issue you've raised. You're trying to modify the presentation of a block.

Install Views and create a custom block with a custom template. Do not, DO NOT modify core files, as that is the well-documented Road to Drupal Hell.

In all cases in which you want to resize an image, http://drupal.org/project/imagecache is the answer. However, applying it requires that you learn some more about theming and -- since you specify "certain pages" -- enough PHP to write conditional code.

Make a copy of your node.tpl.php file and rename the copy to node-blog.tpl.php. Now all changes your make to the node-blog.tpl.php will affect only blog nodes. The original node-template file will handle the templates for all other node types.
