  one image I am including in a blog post (my only visible post so far) won’t ‘stay’ in the post. It appears to be there and a few hours later, it disappears. it is 100 dpi and not too large. Any thoughts?

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

  Hi,

  I sent 2 links because I notice that when I click on/open the post, the image shows. What I would like is for the image to be visible on the post when a visitor arrives at the landing page. I hope this makes sense to you and thank you for your help.

  @katsklein Your theme shows featured images on the posts page.

  Can you try adding a featured image to your post?

  Hi Supernovia ,

  Thanks for your help. I was excited to try the feature image setting, but I still have the same problem. I suspect I am missing something obvious because I am such a novice at this. I have read through some of the set up guide you suggested, but I have not seen any thing that is a fix for this. It’s not crucial, just thought it would be a nice addition so I may have to give up.

  Thanks again!

  @katsklein I can see the featured image here now:
  https://katsklein.wordpress.com/

  It looks like you may want to also include it in your post with this theme. So add is as a featured image, and include it in the post itself.

  Can you try adding a few more posts so we can help you see how it all comes together?

  Hi Supernovia,

  Will do – as you may have guessed, I am trying to have my site look more like a portfolio then a blog and wanted to have one of my paintings be the first thing a user sees when they land. Thank you for you help in suggesting the feature image! I will work on it some more this weekend and add a few posts.

  Thanks again :-)

  @katsklein you bet. We do have several themes that are made just for Portfolios if you’re interested. These might look nice with your paintings:

  https://sketchdemo.wordpress.com

  Or you could stick with a blog theme but still show your paintings on it, like so:
