  How can I get an image from a post to show on the post summery on my blog homepage

  When my post summaries show on my blog homepage, is there a way to feature the picture that is related to that post?

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

  If you want an image from your post to be featured on your blog home page, you can set a featured image for that post.

  On the page where you create your new post, there is a space all the way down on the right hand side of your screen that has the title “Featured Image”. Here you can upload a picture from your media library. The feature image will appear with your post summary on the blog home page.
