  Hi!

  I am trying to get featured images to work on my site, but while the images are present in the posts, when you look at the site there is just a large white space where the featured images are supposed to be.

  Thank you!

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

  The featured images are probably not the correct size.

  This is a good article on how the theme you are using is designed to operate > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/introduction-to-structure/

  For Structure:
  640×392 pixels if you’re using the option to display the featured image when viewing a single post.
  620×380 pixels if you’re not using that option.
  (620×380 is the size of the homepage top featured image, 640×392 is the size on the single post view; but 620×380 and 640×392 are the same aspect ratio, so the image will show up in the homepage top area in both cases).

  @buildingcsos With the featured image at the top of you site you also have “Uncategorized” set as the category to use for posts in that slot. This is at Appearance > Theme Options in your Dashboard.

  The theme will look for the most recent post in that category to display up top. If you publish a post in “Uncategorized” or set that option to use a different category your site will look more like the demo site for Structure.
