   Hi B1gft,

   Do you have a link to the Wordpress installation where the photographs aren't displaying? If not, is it possible to view a screenshot of the error or a snippet of the theme and CSS code for the content area of your theme?

   :)

   Hi B1gft,
   Regarding the images not displaying on the homepage, I've taken a look at your front page and believe I may have the reason why the images aren't displaying.

   For each post that you have displayed on the homepage, you are displaying the post excerpt. When displaying the post excerpt, I believe that all XHTML tags are stripped from this. This would include images.

   Two possible solutions to this would be to install a custom excerpt plugin. This would give you more control over the excerpt. The alternative would be to replace the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> tag with <?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>. This will display all the text of the post leading up to a <!--more--> tag on the post (there's a button for this on the Wordpress rich text editor... you can also type it in "HTML" mode on the editor) and will create a "read more" link below this. This will allow for the inclusion of images in the front page area.

   I hope this helps. :)

   Hi,
   I have just got around to working on this problem.

   Can you please tell me on what file do I go to to replace
   the <?php the_excerpt(); ?> tag with <?php the_content('Continue Reading');

   Thanks for your help
