Above is a 940px image inserted directly into the post. It is also set as the post thumbnail.

An optional custom field called columns was set with a value of 1 to make this post a single column. Two more custom fields, hide_title and hide_meta were also set to “yes” to hide the post title and meta data under the title since this is a portfolio item and I wanted the content high on the page.

As you can see, this allows you to have a pretty wide-open page, adding video, images or whatever you like.
