Okay, so i'm creating some blog posts, and have photos embedded into the post. I also have an excerpt to start the original heading on the front page.

How do i get an image to appear on the front page of the blog? Currently it just has my title, excerpt, then the dreaded red X box.

Anyone?

Thanks

You'll need to be a bit more specific for us to help I think.

Are you using a standard template? Is it designed to accept an image?

Or you could just link to it so we can see it (if it's not too sensitive or private that is).

The image that your are displaying on the front page is

"http://www.botbnews.com/wp-content/themes/botb/images/thumbs/default.jpg",

whereas it should be displaying
"http://www.botbnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/23410104273846612x4081.jpg"
(assuming you want the Ferrari picture).

Comparing the other front page posts, the links are;
"http://www.botbnews.com/wp-content/themes/botb/images/splash/slsspl.jpg"
"http://www.botbnews.com/wp-content/themes/botb/images/splash/astspl.jpg"
"http://www.botbnews.com/wp-content/themes/botb/images/splash/murcspl.jpg"

So I suspect you need an image in the splash directory somehow. Not sure on the setup of your theme though. Have you created the image link correctly for the home page?
