How Do You Output Teasers with Thumbnails on your Drupal Site?

This type of problem slows me down. I need to output teasers as on http://www.observer.com/ ( A Drupal Site)

I use Drupal 6.16 + + CCK + View + CKeditor + IMCE + IMCE Field.

Can someone suggest from his past experience how is he handling the thumbnails to display on the frontpage?

Kind Regards and thanks for hints

There are two ways to go about it. You can adjust what is shown in the teaser view of a specific content type at
admin/content/node-type/*yournodetype*/display.

Or create a view, Under Fields click the + button, and click the box next to your image field. This will add that field to your view. And also, obviously add the title field and body field, and trim to your requirements.

Hello pixelplay

Thanks for reply but I really understand none of the 2 methods...Are there any modules involved in?
I mention I don't use Image Field but IMCE Image Field. I don't have excerpt or any other teaser module installed.
{I tried a fiew but seems they are not working well}. All I need is just a content-type field to add and to set it as a teaser (exactely as on Wordpress).

In the first way: where is the display page? do you use a plugin? I don't get it where is the page.

In the second way:
Are you talking about Views Module interface? What fields?
Using Views to generate a list of teasers should be a reasonable method but how to control the teasers. Where to upload a teaser image?

Sorry for bothering but I don't get it at all, if you could give me extra details to figure out?

:( Many Thanks

Sounds like you want to use the imagecache module. I'm not sure if it works with IMCE image field. I've only used it with CCK image field. If you use CCK image field your images are linked to nodes. If you delete a node, associated images are deleted as well.
