title: WordPress get YouTube image thumbnail
body: <p>I'm trying to let users post a video on one our sites with text beneath it. Is there a way display the YouTube thumbnail image as a user's post thumbnail. </p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>I post a YouTube video on the site:
  <a href="http://theaamgroup.com/development/1.png" rel="nofollow">IMAGE LINK</a></p>
  
  <p>Using HTML/PHP I pull in the posts on to my website using the below code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
      $posts = get_posts('cat=3');
      foreach ($posts as $post) : setup_postdata( $post );
  ?&gt;
          &lt;?php the_date(); echo "&lt;br /&gt;"; ?&gt;
          &lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;
      &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to load the image/video and then the title of the post. Not the date or any other content. How can this be done?</p>
  
  <p>Then how can I make that thumbnail a link to go to the actual post?</p>
