    I use multiple images when writing my blogs, and reader automatically chooses on for me. But it’s not the image that I would want to display. I have set the featured image and it still won’t work. I am new to WordPress and would desperately love help! Thank you!

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

    What I post below is how the Reader is programmed to operate and we bloggers cannot change that – only Staff can.

    Currently, when a post with the Standard, Aside, Link, Quote, or Status post format contains a video or audio embed, that embed is pulled out and used in the Reader. Otherwise, it uses an image from the post.

    If the post has the Gallery or Image post format, http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-formats/#what-types-of-post-formats-are-there a video or audio embed in that post would not be used in the Reader – one or more images would be used instead. When the Reader looks for an image, it goes for the featured image first http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/ and then an image inserted into the post — if there are no images that meet the size criteria mentioned above, it will display the image as a thumbnail instead of a large image.
