blog thumbnails v page thumbnails
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I have two Blog Entry pages so far: the Hello World page that is part of the basic install and a second one I created. I was interested in finding out how the Blog Thumbnail and Blog Header photos would be used, so I left the c5 defaults (Stonehenge). Silly me.
I have added a Page Thumbnail to the Blog Entry page I added, but that doesn't exactly override the stock c5 thumbnail that was already attached to the blog pages. On my Blog page, the c5 Blog Index Thumbnail template pulls the old Stonehenge thumbnails. On another page, I intend to use one of your page list templates (probably Four Column), which I know will pull your Page Thumbnail.
Question: How can I go back and edit/change/replace the Stonehenge thumbnail after I've posted the page out of Composer? I can't find an attribute, I can't find a block, I can't find a question about the subject on any of the c5 forums, I am stumped (and concerned that I'm about to look really stupid if I'm missing something completely obvious).
For future pages I can just be sure to add the thumbnail I want in Composer for the Blog Index Thumbnail template, then add the same photo again as a Page Thumbnail for your templates. But I've got two I need to fix and I can't figure it out....

Hmmm...I think if you go to the page and put it in edit mode there is an area for the thumbnail (for the default Blog entry template) with an image block in it that you can just go in and remove.
Well.....
That's exactly how it works in Structura, but the two sites (so far) that I'm building using that theme I'm going to use the "Blog Feature Image" template anyway instead of a thumbnail.
In Slate there is no editable thumbnail image area on the Blog Entry default page. And there's no 'feature image' template option. Any ideas?
On a technical note that is sort of moot for now, but I'm curious: I deleted the thumbnail on the Blog Entry default page in Structura and it had no effect on the existing blog page (that one starter page you get). If you're _adding_ content to the default page there's a way to push that out to child pages, but _deleting_ information it doesn't work that way (or else I'm missing something...). As I said, I'm going to use the feature image anyway, but if I wanted to do a little mini-blogroll in the footer or something and use the thumbnail, would I have to just delete that starter page and start composing all new pages with the new defaults to be rid of that Stonehenge thumbnail?
The big pressing question, though, is how can I get rid of Stonehenge in Slate if there's no editable thumbnail image area on the Blog Entry default page?...
Thanks,

I'm really not sure. Could you give me a login to the site so I can go in and take a look. You can just PM me the info.
I sent you user credentials for the Slate site.
I'd still be interested in your thoughts on the other site if you have any (where I removed the blog thumbnail in the Blog Entry default page but it didn't affect an existing Blog Entry page. Should I just create a new page?

Hey, Chris! Did you ever have a chance to look at this?

Sorry, I just don't have the time to dig into this. Not sure what the issue is.
