  Maybe just a glitch or I’m doing something wrong, but the last couple of posts on my main page are showing blank previews (they are photographs) once they are published. Any way to fix this?

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

  The Oxygen theme and every theme that has “featured images” will display only the gray boxes unless or until you set a featured image of the correct dimensions in each post.

  Please consult the detailed theme description here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ There are also many threads that explain how the Oxygen theme is designed to operate.

  In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page
  Page templates can be set under the “Page Attributes” section on the page editor screen. For more information on Page Attributes:

  Showcase page template
  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. …

  Post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide, unless you make the post Sticky to show off in the featured slider, in which case they’re 750 pixels wide. Keep in mind: if you mark a post as Sticky but the featured image is less than 750 pixels wide, then it won’t display in the slider and will still disappear from the river of posts.

  If you failed to upload and set a featured image of the correct dimensions in each post then until you do upload one into each one the gray box will be there. Also be aware that you cannot crop the sticky post thumbnails.

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide

  If you don’t see the page attributes module then make sure that you don’t have it hidden in your screen options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/
