  I just switched to WordPress and selected the Suburbia theme. In the preview the two most recent posts appear larger than the rest: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/suburbia/

  In my blog, however, everything shows up with the smaller tiles: http://supposedlyfunblog.wordpress.com/

  Could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

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

  Hi,

  I’m having the same issue with Suburbia. I would like my newer posts to have a larger display on my site. I even browsed the other themes looking for a new one – only to notice that Suburbia is supposed to be doing this all along.

  I see from the forum that there have been other issues with Suburbia. Can you recommend another theme that is similar to it?

  My site is roughandunfinished.wordpress.com

  Thanks

  Ellen

  In the Suburbia theme the “S” on the top left corner is the header image that you can replace with one of your own. The custom header image is 155 by 155 (width, height). That header image can be replaced here > Appearance > Header.

  Featured images sizes are critical to display.

  On the main page, Suburbia doesn’t display regularly inserted images. Regularly inserted images only display when a post is viewed on its own page – not on the front page.

  To have front page image display you need to set a featured image to each post and make each post a sticky post. Note that the size of the featured image does matter. Featured image sizes are critical to display. The featured image works best with images at least 350 by 248 (width, height) – smaller images will not work.

  Sticky posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options
