So use the post thumbnails for images and custom fields for the external link. Done.

EDIT : Yeah, you can do what I understand bigtreat is suggesting: create post metaboxes where you input the links (which will, of course, be saved into custom fields).

Or you can use custom fields for the links and use the post thumbnails feature for the images. On the home page you can also make different WordPress queries for the different categories.

Friends if i use Custom Post Type feature for adding news headline title and title have external site link its good idea :) .

And i want to change custom post type template i don’t want post editor. i want just 2 input fields one for add title second for title link.

Its possible in wordpress through custom post type with change of custom post template.

I read different articles of custom post type all can add extra fields but not removing general field options etc etc.
