  Hi there it looks like your posts are tagged correctly and they each have a featured image, but your front page is set to display your latest posts at the moment. To get Gateway looking like the demo, you need to assign your front page to a static page using the Homepage template.

  Try following the steps in the Homepage Template section and let me know if you get stuck at any step:

  Thanks a lot Kathryn, If you could please have a look I would appreciate, and see if its now actually set as a home page. Before I had done the Featured thing at the Blog page as well, and its still there as well.

  Looks good – you set your front page to use the Home Page template and I’m seeing the three featured posts.

  You’ll also need to assign a page for the blog, right now it’s blank. Once you assign it to a page you’ll be able to see all blog posts on a separate page and be able to link to it from your menu. You can find out how to do that in the section “Optional – Create a blog page” here:
