  I’m using the Suburbia theme and want to customize which photo is used as the cover shot on my home page. Currently it seems to be grabbing one at random. Can I customize it so that I can pick my preference?

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

  Ignore the spammer.

  In the Suburbia theme the “S” on the top left corner is the header image that you can replace with one of your own. The custom header image is 155 by 155 (width, height). That header image can be replaced here > Appearance > Header.

  Featured images sizes are critical to display.

  Suburbia description notes http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/suburbia/
  live demo site http://suburbiademo.wordpress.com/

  On the main page, Suburbia doesn’t display regularly inserted images. Regularly inserted images only display when a post is viewed on its own page – not on the front page.

  To have front page image display you need to set a featured image to each post and make each post a sticky post. Note that the size of the featured image does matter. Featured image sizes are critical to display. The featured image works best with images at least 350 by 248 (width, height) – smaller images will not work.

  Setting a Featured Image > http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
  Sticky posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  P.S. You seem to be publishing duplicate content across domains and that’s not a good idea at all. WordPress.com is a platform that supports original content blogging. Note this please and be aware that Google’s Penguin algorithm can and does detect duplicate content. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66359?hl=en The original content will be negatively affected when it comes to search engine ranking and the duplicate will be hurled back in the SERPs (search engine page results) where the sun don’t shine.

  Thanks so much for the info, timethief. That was very helpful. And I will look into the duplicate content, as well!
