  I noticed the complex possibilities of using the “display posts” code
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/

  Would be interested if anyone here has used exploited the possibilities with image near the post reference in the list of posts. Please provide a link of what you’ve done.

  Also if something could be done to list all posts with their thumbnail image that would give something that is better than the Archives shortcode.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can try it yourself in a test page. For an alphabetical list of all posts, with an image, you’d use this version:
  [display-posts image_size="thumbnail" posts_per_page="-1" order="ASC" orderby="title" wrapper="div"]

  You can also display a separate list for each category, if you add this parameter in the shortcode (and pase the shortcode as many times for as many categories):
  category="CATEGORY NAME HERE"

  Note: for images to show, you must have set a featured image to each post.
