When adding an article, at the very bottom is a browse button, use that to add images from your own computer and when you submit the article, it will be uploaded and resized to your settings - as set in admincp.

Once you click 'editors choice' in the left side menu, the program makes an automatic thumbnail for you and adds it.

Breaking news is made when you click 'breaking' in the left menu (while in edit mode).

Yes, they do actually wrap - but it goes to the very edge when viewing in MSIE. However, firefox, safari & opera do display it correctly.

I've not amended any code in the head, so cannot help, sorry.

Unfortunately, it is all manually added. Though I think RSS from a specific forum would be an immense improvement, bringing it up to vbadvanced standards.
The major benefit of having it all manually added, is that YOU get to choose what is put on the front page - very specifically. And of course, by manipulating the usergroups, you can allow other trusted members to add specific articles too.
