  Hi Susan,

  What specific aspect are you having trouble with? I am not seeing any content currently on your http://whiteroseranchathome.com/ site.

  If you have not seen it, there is a lot of info about the Snap theme on this support page:

  Hi There,
  So I have done the entire homepage and I am about to throw my computer out the window! It still shows a little tiny image in the left corner! I want it to be ONE BIG PHOTO on the front page. I apparently don’t know how to get the home page as my landing page. When I am editing it and it ask if I want to open the link, It’s perfect! But when I just type in my url it’s horrible! I can’t believe you guys don’t have a support phone line! Please respond. Thank you,
  Susan

  Hi Susan,

  As far as making the “one big photo” here are the relevant instructions from that page I linked to earlier:

  To set up a home page for Snap, a page using the “Homepage” template needs to be designated as the home page:

  Add a new page titled “Home” from your WordPress dashboard.
  Choose “Homepage Template” in the Page Attributes box for the value of the Template dropdown.
  Save the page.
  Create a new page titled “Blog”, leave it empty, and publish it.
  Navigate to Settings → Reading.
  Choose “A static page” from the Front page displays option.
  Set the Front page to the page created in the first step.
  Set the Posts page to “Blog”.
  Save your changes.

  Featured Area

  The Featured Area was added to the theme to highlight the site’s most exciting content in a “big” way. This area can show one of the three following things:

  Slider containing images
  A single image
  Nothing

  If posts are designated to be in the Featured Slider, they will be shown in this area. If no posts are designated for the featured slider, and a Featured Image is set for the page, the image will be shown. Finally, if no posts are designated for the Featured Slider and a Featured Image is not set, nothing will be displayed in the Featured Area.

  Creating a home page and then setting a featured image as in the instructions will create just what you are looking for, a homepage that looks like the demo site with a big image.
