  Hi I’m looking at getting a featured image to display next to each blog excerpt. and would really appreciate your help.

  A rundown of where I think I am at….

  I’ve set the featured images and the Blask theme has add_theme_support(‘post_thumbnails’) in functions.php enabled….. Great!

  I am using the non portfolio standard blog page. And I want to show

  image — > excerpt
  ———————–
  read more….

  for each post.

  I was hoping to do this in css. Is this possible?

  Or is the only option inserting <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> in the appropriate php template file? I’m hoping not as I don’t have write access to my php files or even server access. If I did get access, which file is the right template for the blog posts page (default wordpress version).

  Another option is using the portfolio page built in to Blask theme, if I did this would there be a quick way to import my 20+ blog posts into portfolio projects, quickly and safely?

  Lastly if I use the portfolio page, how different will it look from the current ‘standard’ blog page of the Blask theme?

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

  I think this is the change i need to make? I have commented the code i have added /* */

  Blask: Single Page (page.php)
  Select theme to edit: Blask

  
  /* Is this where i add the appropriate line? */
  

  <!– #main –>

  <!– #primary –>

  
  

  Thanks for any assistance in advance :)
