Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to keep a title, a featured image, ANYTHING on my blog page of my website to distinguish the blog from the rest of my website. As of the moment, my featured image and page title both get deleted when I set the page as the page to post to.

I REALLY would like to keep my featured image, but have been told that isn’t possible. Is it possible to at least keep a title on the blog post page?

Any help you can offer would be appreciated!

Thanks.
The blog I need help with is buildingblockssll.com

Hi there, your image is lovely. You can add it to your blog page like so:
```
.blog #main {

background: url("http://babbleonbaby.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/babble-on-leaderboard2.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #fff;

padding-top: 350px;

}
```

Uh oh. I replied to soon. Just checked my page after exiting out of the customization screen and saw that the edge is cut off. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi there, I’m not sure what you’re seeing as I don’t see your graphic being cut off – would it be possible to upload a screenshot to help in troubleshooting?

Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot, if you’re not sure: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/

You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in your Media Library so I can see it. Thanks.

I think the issue is that the image needs to be centered. I have a small computer screen, so when my screen was not at full size yesterday (I have an Apple), It cut off the right hand side of the image. Once I increased the size of my viewing window to full size-it just appears to be left aligned instead of center.

You can see an example here:

Here is an example of the other featured images that are centered:

If I could just center the blog image right to left, I think that would solve the problem.

Thanks! Could you please ry this code instead of the earlier version:
```
.blog #main {

background: url("http://babbleonbaby.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/babble-on-leaderboard2.png") no-repeat center 0 scroll #FFFFFF !important;

padding-top: 350px;

}
```
Let me know how it goes.

Hmmm.. seems to still be aligned to the left. Any other suggestions? Not a HUGE deal but if I can get it centered, that would be fabulous. Thanks again for all your help!

I replied TOO soon, rather. Apparently, I typed TOO fast as well. Either way….problem is solved. :)

Odd – it looks centered here – http://cl.ly/image/0x1d3V0v0q3J

To rule out a Safari 5-specific issue, would you mind checking another browser like Firefox or Chrome?

Oh, good – glad you see it centered now! I’m marking this one as resolved and closing it. :-)
