  Hi
  I’m new to wordpress, migrating over from the dying Jux. I’m using the AutoFocus theme and the thumbnail images are blank on the home page. They appear in the articles, but not on the home page. I have tried some other themes and found the same result. What is it that I’m doing wrong?
  Also, I’m looking for graphic rich themes similar to what Jux had. Are there better ones than AutoFocus?
  Thanks for your help.

  a) Instructions for Autofocus here:
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/autofocus/
  In short, the homepage will display an image for a post if the image has been uploaded from your computer to your blog via the Add Media tool of that post, or if you set it as a featured image to that post.

  b) “Better” is subjective. You can read about all themes and see live demos here:

  Thanks Justpi for the feedback.
  I actually discovered that you need to go to the image library and then ‘link’ the image to the post. When you do that, the image then appears on the home page!

  You’re welcome.
  Yes, you can correct your already published posts this way too. But you don’t literally “need” to do that: it’s a way to correct things, but it’s not the normal way of making the image show up. For future posts make sure you observe either of the two ways I suggested.
