   This is my first time using a wordpress theme and maybe I'm doing it wrong, I created some pages so that I would have a static menu then I tried to set up these pages to look like blog layout #2 Full (its in the live demo of the theme under blog)

   When I try and use the shortcode [blog_list thumb="large" showposts="3" post_content="excerpt" category_in="10"] the image doesn't show up, I assume it should grab the featured image of the article.

   Am I doing this wrong?

   Hello stephbee,

   Make sure that you have a featured image set for your post, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Post_Options#Featured_Image.

   If that still does not work then send us a link to your page and we'll take a closer look.

   Hmm, that doesn't appear to be a featured image. Are you sure that you set it up by following these instructions? http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Post_Options#Featured_Image

   Here is a better image showing how to set it, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Using_the_Portfolio#Creating_Portfolio_Items.

   After clicking the "Featured Image" link and uploading your image you'll need to click the "Use as featured image" link as seen in the screenshot.

   Thank you! I was using the url option and there is no "use as featured image" you have to do it from the upload image area apparently. Thank you so much
