add a custom image size

First of all enable "Custom Fields" under "Screen Options".
under "Name" put "thumb" and under "Value" insert link to your 500px picture.
Next you need to edit your index.php file and add this:

<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "thumb", true) ): ?>

				<p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">

			<img src="<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumb"); echo $values[0]; ?>" height="120" width="160" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a></p>

why use custom fields?

all that extra work is pointless.

add to functions.php:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
add_image_size( 'homepage-thumb', 500, 2000 ); // 500 pixels wide by 2000 pixels tall, soft proportional crop mode

Inside index.php put:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'homepage-thumb' ); } ?>

That is in place of your normal thumb. Then it will be smaller.

Then install this if you have been using a different size:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...te-thumbnails/

Personally I would use excerpt to produce the text and maybe put something like this in functions.php:

function new_excerpt_length($length) {
	return 75;
}
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

TO change the length of the excerpt to be a bit larger... But then I write larger posts than most people...

i usally just trim the content, writing in excerpt and a post is annoying
