  Just set up my blog: http://redleash.wordpress.com/ and keep having problems with the posts. I have posted and reposted the top one several times and have the following recurring issues:

  1. Clicking on the image in the post (picture of a white poppy) takes me to a post page that has no image or text from the original post. I have tried inserting the image into the post in multiple ways using the choices given (i.e., “use attachment post”).

  2. I inserted a title for the post but it does not show up on either the home page or the post page.

  I have done some minor CSS customizing, such as omitting the masthead and changing the color of some of the text on the home page.

  One other question: Is there a way to keep the custom header only on the home page and remove it from the other blog/post pages?

  Thanks,
  Lauren

  When you insert an individual image into a post or page in a WordPress.com blog, you will see an option to link the image. That is done in the Link URL field. There are buttons below the Link URL field to help you.

  * The None button will remove the link completely.
  * The File URL button will link the image to its original, full-size version.
  * The Attachment Post URL button will link the image to its attachment page.
  * Or you can add a different link of your choice.

  See this help page for more details and screenshot examples showing how it works:

  2. I inserted a title for the post but it does not show up on either the home page or the post page.

  This block of code from your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page is making the title for the top post disappear behind the header image:

  #header-image {
  	margin-bottom:0;
  	height:7px;
  }

  Try removing that and you should be able to see the top post title.

  If you’re still having trouble after that or you need to adjust something different, let me know what you were trying to do with the CSS and I’ll try to help you find a workaround.
