Just a few problems with this theme, don't know if it's worth it to fix or just find a new theme.

Shouldn't I be able to set it so the blog posts on the main page show a thumbnail of an image from each post? Can't find the appropriate setting in the wp-admin.
And what file would I have to edit to do it.
Thank you.

That's not an option within WordPress itself, as far as I know. It might be worth searching the Plugins Directory to see if any of the photo-related plugins offer that kind of additional functionality.

I'm running WP Slimbox 2 plugin to do the shadow box thing when images are clicked. That is working fine.
I just don't like that my viewers have to click on the Blog Post title before it will expand and show the image in the post.
Actually, it would be fine with me if every blog post was just automatically expanded. Since the main purpose of this blog will just be to show off sketches and illustrations. Most of my blog posts will just have an image and a few lines of text.
I found the setting where I can choose "Full Text" or "Summery" in the feed. I wish I had that check box for it in the Reading Settings:
Front Page Displays: (check box) Your Latest Posts
(check box) A static page (select below)
There should be a box somewhere for either Full Text or a Summary
Check your index.php, category.php and archive.php files for either the_content or the_excerpt.
If they use the_excerpt(), change it to the_content(). Once that's done, if you stay away from using the <!--more--> tag in your posts, they should always be displayed in full.
