Related / Similar posts with thumbnails?

I am using the Similar Posts plugin by Rob Marsh – https://rmarsh.com/plugins/similar-posts/

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin has a feature called “templates” which allows uber-customization of how the related posts are displayed, including using images. There are a few tutorials out there which describe this:

my blog has it: iBob | Your Internet, Social Media, Tech and Entertainment Buddy Reporter! … I use linkwithin plugin mate! It’s damn cool! Try it. You will love it.

i rally dont like the linkwithin plugin, never shows related posts, not even close!

Maybe you cah check my workaround, it’s very simple, using php + custom tags, and you can just copy and paste to make it work
