Update: Several people have been reporting an error “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()…” I just pushed out version 3.1 which should fix this. This bug could have been fixed if I had done some more rigorous testing. I’ll do better next time.

About thumbnails: Many people have been wondering why the thumbnail options don’t show up. This is because your theme does not support thumbnails! See Mark’s post to enable them.
