Selecting Image That Shows in Reader
-
I write a book blog. I didn’t have this issue when I first started my blog, so I’m not sure what changed. During a book review, I usually have an image of the cover and then an image of my rating. The book cover image used to always be what showed up in the Reader with the beginning blurb of my post, presumably because it was the first image. Recently I’m having the problem that my rating image, which is at the end of my blog posts, is showing up as that image. How do I fix this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Currently, when a post with the Standard, Aside, Link, Quote, or Status post format contains a video or audio embed or slideshow, that embed is pulled out and used in the Reader. Otherwise, it uses an image from the post.
If the post has the Gallery or Image post format, a video or audio embed in that post would not be used in the Reader – one or more images would be used instead.
The way our RSS feeds work is that it pulls and displays the first image it finds inside the post content. When the Reader looks for an image, it goes for the featured image first and then an image inserted into the post — if there are no images that meet the size criteria mentioned above, it will display the image as a thumbnail instead of a large image.

Hmm, I’m not really sure that answers my question. I don’t use any video or audio in my posts. I found information about a supposed feature image option earlier tonight, but could find no such options on my posts? I just want to know how to select which image shows up in the feed – I’m not sure what happened to make my posts start showing the second image instead of the first.

There are no image display options we bloggers can set to dictate which Image appears in the WordPress.com Reader. The software is programmed to display what I stated above.
