  I am using Matala. I have uploaded an image and ‘attached’ it to my About page. When I’m in ‘Media’ and I click on ‘view’ by the image I see the About page with the image on it. But when I click on the name of my blog and go to the About page, it isn’t there. Can someone help / explain please? I’m new here!

  Thanks.

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

  Hi! You have your blog set to private, so we can’t view your blog & see if see if we can tell what’s going on.

  In addition to attaching it, did you actually include it in your page’s layout when you created the page?

  Hi mmadfan,

  I have changed my privacy settings for the time being so that you can see what’s going on. I literally just signed up yesterday so am just playing around at the moment, as you will be able to tell!

  I didn’t include it in the page’s layout, no. I didn’t actually create the page either, it is the sample About page that is automatically created when you first set up a blog. I was just playing with uploading an image, separate to uploading one within a post, and can’t work out where it has gone!

  Thanks.

  Ditto to everything timethief said.

  You need to actually put the image in your post or page, not just attach it. :-)

  Thanks a lot. Sorry! I’d looked at the tutorial, including step 7, but didn’t see the additional list of support links at the bottom.

  What you need to do now is edit the About page and insert the image which is in your Media Library into that page.
