No thumbnail as advertised on EXPOUND theme!

On theme page Expound theme displays a page that shows excerpts with thumbnails but after activating that theme i am not getting the desired result. Is there any setting i am leaving for those effects?

To get the thumbnail image, you have to attach a Featured Image. When you are on the Edit Post page, look along the right side, below Categories. Click on Featured Image, and select the image you want as a thumbnail from your media library.

Hello!
I’m having the same problem as drofart …
I’m just starting with WordPress and, maybe, created too many categories! Listed in the front menu.
I’ve just added 4 samples posts with their own ‘Featured image’ …
But they still do not appear on the home page of the blog!
Here is the adress :

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your feed-back!
But I steel cannot achieve to do it!
The pictures I loaded had correct sizes :
Train = 700 x 335 but troncated to 220 x 126
Lama = 1685 x 1128, troncated to 220 x 126 …
Castle = 668 x 324 … Troncated also to 220 x 126 …
When I have a look on drofart’s blog, and try a right click on his thumbnails pictures, choosing ‘Information on picture’ I also see 220 x 126 for their sizes …There might be something else I do not do correctly !
But don’t understand what!
If you have any idea!?
Do you think the number of articles is important to show correctly the theme ?
Or the number of categories an article belongs to ?
Are the thumbnails visible the last articles published ?Many thanks for your support !

I can see the photo thumbnails of each of your photos on your blog’s front page. Try clearing out your cookies and cache.

Thanks for your feed-back …
I did cleared cookies and cache, but my front page still doesn’t look like your’s !
I just tried to post a screen capture to show what I see on my blog, and on yours … But It’s not possible here!
May I send you those captures by mail?
Sorry to insist … But may be it could help to solve my issue!
Many thanks! -
Hello,
Finally, a friend of mine helped me … Here is the solution … That might alos be helpful for someone else!
The problem was with the tags! Since I’m not used to them, I did not use them!
The first thing I should have done was :
Go to : appearence > personalized > featured content.
Define a ‘featured tag’ : for example ‘Top’.
Than, choose the 5 articles we want to highlight, open each one, and, on the ‘Tags’ window (at the bottom of the page), add the ‘Top’ tag for the article! Save … It’s done!It’s quite simple … But, when you don’t know … Difficult to guess!
Anyway … Thanks for your support!

Thanks @etamanthesonfaitquoi… I have always used Tags, so it never occurred to me that excluding them would be a problem.
