 * Hello everybody !
 * I’m using the flat theme and when I add a featured image it never shows… I don’t
   really see why it doesn’t show. I have done tests with different pictures and
   different posts but still no thumbnails…
 * If anybody could help, this would be great!
    Thanks a lot 🙂

 * I have done one more test: with the twenty twelve theme, it’s well shown. It’s
   only not shown when using flat or my child theme of flat.
 * I have read this page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails](http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails)
   But it’s a little bit too complex for me 😀 :/
