<div class=”boxcover”>
<div class=”entry”>
<div class=”boximage”>
<div class=”boxtitle”>
<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php echo ShortenText(get_the_title()); ?></h2>
</div>

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {?>
<?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘home-thumbnail’ );?>
<?php } else { ?>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/place.jpg” alt=”” />
<?php } ?>

</div>
