  I set the featured image in my most recent blog post, but only the default featured image shows up on the actual blog:

  http://zizaidermatology.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/call-for-infant-eczema-tips/

  For this post the featured image should be:
  http://zizaidermatology.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/call-for-infant-eczema-tips/infant-eczema/
  Blog url: http://zizaidermatology.wordpress.com/

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

  Featured images cannot show up in the header area if they are narrower than the regular header image (in your case, 940px).

  Featured images must be the correct dimensions specified for the theme.
  Twenty Eleven

  Twenty Eleven has a special Showcase template which takes advantage of Featured Images when used on sticky posts:
  An image with a minimum height of 300 pixels and a maximum width of 500 pixels will display next to the post.
  An image that is at least 1000 x 288 pixels will be displayed instead of the post with a title over the image.

  Thanks but in the post editor, the featured image appears as it should. It is only when I go to the actual blog post (that readers see) that the image does not display. I have used undersized images as headers before (they just look a bit blurry when stretched). So I have never encountered this issue before. I cleared my cookies and cache (in case the problem was with my computer only) but this did not resolve the issue.
