  Hello,

  Why isn’t my image showing up on my recent post at my blog:
  http://ligoodnews.wordpress.com

  According to the page source, the code says:
  <meta property=”
  og:image
  ” content=”
  https://i1.wp.com/ligoodnews.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/calhoun-high-school-students-at-st-baldricks-day-march-19-20133.jpg?fit=1000%2C1000
  ” />

  Is there anything wrong with the link
  https://i1.wp.com/ligoodnews.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/calhoun-high-school-students-at-st-baldricks-day-march-19-20133.jpg

  I have had so much trouble with WordPress so far, and I really don’t know what to do. Thanks so much.

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

  There’s no such thing in the sourcecode of your blog at the moment, and the correct URL of the image is this:
  http://ligoodnews.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/calhoun-high-school-students-at-st-baldricks-day-march-19-20133.jpg
  To insert an image, you edit the post, click the Add Media button, upload from your computer or select from the media library, select size etc options, click Insert.

  I clicked on insert featured image when editing my blog post entry. I did it number of times, trying to insert the image in question. Apparently, I succeeded somewhat, because the image was uploaded. Is that right?

  What makes this new image different from the previous image I uploaded on my blog entry about veterans? I used the same procedure. I definitely saw a reference to the image in the code of my most recent blog entry, and I am very confused. Is the image uploaded, or is it not? I feel like an insane person, doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

  The only difference, possibly, was that when I originally created the entry, I selected the gallery option. I did, however, change it back. Is that affecting anything? Thanks.

  1) The image has been uploaded, but to insert an image in a post, you don’t set it as a featured image: featured images are used for a different purpose. To insert an image in a post, you do what I wrote in my previous reply.
  2) The gallery post format option is irrelevant: when you insert several images in a post, the gallery format means that the main page will display one thumbnail only instead of all the images.
