   First, thank-yiou for a a most stylish theme. I have some questions.

   1- How can I make the deafult image empty_thumb.gif replace with a thumb of the first image in the blog post? I have entered my image as 'medium' in the page, but it does not create a thumb in either the recent or popular post list under the post. NOTE the article is listed there

   2- I am concerned about page load speed. It's abit slow comapred to some other premium themes. I'm on a fast semi-dedi server with APC etc.

   Can you recommend a good caching system that you know works well? My site is NOT image heavy

   3- In page archives, I note that there is no thumbnail shown for articles, even with a first image added to the post. Is there an easy way to add thumbs here?

   4- In the author archive page, there is no avatar shown, or bio. Can this be added top of author archive page and how?

   5- I want to use a basic auto lightbox so that thumbs open in overlay. Is this faciloity already available in the theme? otherwise which lightbox do you recommend that uses already loaded scripts and libraries?

   6- Does your contact form script have any anti-spam built in? Again if not, which do you recommend, seeing as Askimet has gone chargable!

   Hi HouseofStrauss,

   Glad to hear you resolved your first question.

   Below are the answers to the rest:

   2).
   I'd recommend the following caching plugin:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

   Also the following site has a lot of good tips regarding speeding up WordPress:

   http://wpshout.com/10-ways-to-use-htaccess-to-speed-up-wordpress/

   3).
   Can you provide a link to the "page archives" you're referring to so we can better understand which "thumbnail" isn't showing up.

   4).
   An avatar or bio could be added to the archive.php file, but it is a customization thats not supported by the theme. To get you going in the right direction you can see the function the theme use to create the about author box on a single blog post here:

   wp-content/themes/infocus/lib/functions/posts.php - Line # 119

   5).
   Download and install the following plugin:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-lightbox/

   All post images should now open in a lightbox

   6).
   The theme’s contact form uses what is called a “Honeypot Captcha”. You can read more about it here.

   http://haacked.com/archive/2007/09/11/honeypot-captcha.aspx

   If you’d like to use a standard captcha instead which seems to be more reliable we’ve written an FAQ on how to seamlessly integrate contact form 7 in its place:
