Is there a way to grab a post's first image and have it displayed as a thumbnail link to the post itself on the homepage? I can't seem to figure it out. Prefer not to use the featured image function. Is there a workaround? Any help would be much appreciated.
Would I be able to use the following code to acheive what I want? It doesn't seem like I can specify a post ID, but maybe i'm wrong?

My main concern is grabbing a few posts and being able to display them on the frontpage/homepage. Is that possible?
