Is the photo the shows up on the postaweek2011 tag feed listigs page random?
-
I’m wondering why it is, that the photo I put at the top of my blog post is not the one that shows up on the wp postaweek2011 tag page listings.
I choose my top photos carefully and would really like for the one I post first to be the one that shows up in the listings: Is that possible? or Is the photo chosen from our posts random?
Thanks for any thoughts you may share with me.

I posted this recipe post:
http://enjoyingcreating.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/marinated-microwaved-squash-crookneck-round/
and made sure the top image reflected the overall recipe results.
My top photo of the finished recipe isn’t displayed by my the listings on the postaweek2011 listings page. I feel I may have lost a few visitors by them not seeing the finished recipe picture and being curious enough to visit my blog.In the postaweek2011 tag listings: http://en.wordpress.com/tag/postaweek2011/
it was my photo of chopped squash in a colander that displayed first. Today my listing is on page 14 and shows my photo of my round squash after I brushed them with Italian dressing.
I can only presume that a program is rotating the photos. That may be fine for photo gallery posts, but for a recipe post (or a project post) I think the finished product should be what is displayed.
Perhaps, you could give us the choice when we post our blog: do we want rotating photos or a static photo of our choosing to appear on the tag list page.It’s too late now for my post, the day has passed. My post is getting further buried deep in the pages of tag listings even as I write this…
For future reference, is there a way I can make sure that the photo I choose to represent my post is the one that displays by my listing in the postaweek2011 tag listings?

I’m presuming that since I haven’t had a reply to my explanation yet, that there is not a way I can make the photo that I choose to represent my post the one that displays by my listing on a tag-listings page.

Sorry for the delay!
When writing your post, there’s a link at the bottom of the right sidebar to set a featured image.
The next time you post, try setting the image you want displayed as your featured image.

I posted a recipe: http://enjoyingcreating.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/round-ball-zucchini-muffins/
I used the ‘feature photo setting’… I chose a photo of the finished muffin, but it’s not the photo that’s displaying beside my listing on the postaweek2011 listings:
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/postaweek2011/
The photo that the listings has displayed is my photo of the raw ingredients.Oh well, it was worth a shot trying the ‘feature photo’ option. ;)
Thanks for trying to help me.
I appreciate it.
:)
