Quick Question on Template Variables. (referencing images with TVs)

Here’s the scenario:

Each of my blog posts have an associated image for design purposes.

How do I reference the image associated with each blog post, and defined by the template variable?

You might need to add additional html depending on your output widget set for tht TV. If it has no output widget set you woul dneed to do something like this:

Thanks for the info. I’m testing this right now. Hopefully it’s going to work.
