Hi! I love the spun theme and how it shows images for all of my previous posts, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to display an image from the most recent post larger … something like this blog does:

Thanks guys!

Try using the following code. The image is pulled through at 360px across so making it full width will distort it, I think this is the best work-around:
```
.hentry:first-of-type {
  width:360px;
  height:360px;
  margin:20px;
}

.wf-active .hentry:first-of-type a span.thumbnail-title {
  font-size:2.5em;
}
```

hi hallluke! I tried that but it didn´t quite work … the font came out larger for the titles of posts in the top row, but the bubbles stayed the same size… maybe what i´m thinking is just not compatible with the theme i´m currently using. any other ideas?? thanks very much for your help.

Did you change themes between the time you posted your question and the time you tried out the code I posted? CSS is theme specific so what will work with one theme probably won’t work with another.

I’m not sure how to do something similar with a theme that uses masonry to position the elements, sorry!

Hi again! In the end, I decided to change the theme because another one suits better the look I want … but now another issue has arisen – a couple of the post “featured image” pictures have disappeared on the front page … the posts entitled “cava” and “churros” .. any idea what’s going on there?

thank you SO much for your help… really appreciate it.

It doesn’t look like a CSS problem, when you go to edit the post is the image from your media library still selected in the featured image section? Try removing it and then adding it again, perhaps!

Hi @caitlintherese, I checked both of those posts and @hallluke is on the right track. Neither of them have the image set as the featured image. The images are inserted into the body of the post instead. I would edit those posts and remove the image from within the post itself and then set those images as the featured image.

Hi @caitlintherese, I see you have the featured images set for your posts now and they are appearing on the main page of your site, so I am going to mark this thread as resolved. If you have additional questions or run into problems, please let us know.
