  I’m trying to start up my first blog and I am having problems with the featured image for the posts.
  I choose a featured image for each post but that is not the one that shows up with the posts on the front page of my blog or on the category pages.
  How do I choose a specific photo to be displayed (along with an excerpt from the beginning of the post) that people can click on to see the whole post?
  I’m using “gallery” setting but I don’t know if that is the best one for what I’m trying to achieve or not.
  I’ve been searching archives and emailed support for help a few days ago and haven’t heard anything… I’m stuck and could really use some help… thanks!

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

  There is not a role of featured images . To show an image and some texts with it,Write some texts — use a big image –use More tag http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ and then write remaining part of your post.

  Assign it as a Standard Post, not a gallery.
