  Hello! I’m trying to customize my blog page to look like the one so many people want….Standard thumbnail image, title, short excerpt.

  This is what I have so far, and it’s close! http://copyforchange.com/blog2/

  I need to get all the pictures a uniform size, make the spacing between posts uniform, add a “read more…” link, and show all the posts instead of just a few.

  Possible?

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

  Hey Danielle,

  Here’s some CSS you can customize to your liking to change the spacing and to set a default image size for your posts:

  .listing-item {
       padding:20px 0px;
   }
  
  .listing-item .attachment-thumbnail {
        width:160px;
        height:100px;
    }

  You can also specify the image size in the shortcode. The image_size can be set to thumbnail, medium, large (all controlled from Settings > Media). The default has it empty. Here’s an example: [display-posts image_size="thumbnail"]
