@iesu:
a) You added the Links widget to the left sidebar but didn't add anything to the right sidebar. When you don't add any widgets yourself, the theme displays a default set of sidebar items. The default set in the right sidebar includes Links, hence the duplication.
b) Some themes (and some browser versions) cannot downsize images to the width of the sidebar, especially if the images are hosted elsewhere. You should copy the images to your computer, use an image editing application or an online tool to downsize the images,* then upload each image to your blog via Media > Add New, click Edit, copy the File URL from the Save module, use that URL in an Image widget to create the link (or edit the links in Links > All Links and replace the current image URLs).
* Maximum width for Garland: left sidebar 198px, right sidebar 188px.

If you don't want both the left and right sidebar, just empty all the widgets out of the sidebar you don't want.

To add an image to the post excerpt manually, you can do so using HTML and crafting an excerpt in the Excerpt field. The HTML to add an image looks like this, replacing the SRC part with the URL to your image file:

<img src="http://yamyameventproduction.wordpress.com/path/to/my-image.jpg">

However, this may not produce the best results, as images are typically not meant to appear in excerpts. In this case, it may be easier to switch to a theme that displays full post content on the home page.

I hope this clarifies!

2. Try the full reconnect procedure again detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.

Note: RSS Grafitti http://www.facebook.com/RSS.Graffiti can be used for posting to Facebook walls if you prefer. RSS Graffiti periodically checks the RSS/Atom feeds that you specify and posts any new entries it finds to the Facebook Walls that you specify. You can get any feed written on any wall (Facebook Profiles, Fan Pages, Groups, Events and Application Profile Pages). In fact, multiple feeds to multiple walls. You choose the combination.

Please note that reconnecting Publicize with Facebook does not re-publicize missed posts, but it will work for future posts.

I'm having a problem with the picture in my blogpost. When I click on the blogpost the picture is there, and it's also showing up as a featured image as I want it to, but when I look at the main site there's only the title of the post and the text, without the picture that's also in the post. How do I change that? I want the picture to be seen when looking at the post on the main site too.

Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.
Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the HTML editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

specifically for this post;

you can tell the words look blurry although pictures are okay since it blends in..

Thanks in advance!

And here are the changes I need to know how to make:

1. I'd like to make my title "INDIA AUTRY" into upper and lowercase "India Autry." It's typed in that way in "Custom Design," but is still showing up in all caps. I found a way in CSS to make it all lower case "india autry," but that's not what I want.

2. For the menu bar, whatever page you're on is highlighted in the menu bar as black and bold, while the rest of the menu bar pages are gray. Is there any way to change this to gray and bold?

3. As you can see, my home page picture has a whitish background and the column in the middle of the page also is white. Is there any way to either put a border around the picture or change the color of the column?

4. I see in "Custom Design" how to change the color of the background (the area behind the white column). But no matter how bright and bold the color that you select is, when it's applied to the background, it becomes pastel and faded. Is there anyway to change the background to a bold color?

5. (This question might make Number 4 moot). Can I expand the margins of the middle column? I found some CSS stylings to do this, but they made the title and menu bar off-center.

Thank you! I know these changes seem picky, but I'm trying to make them at the advice of mentor, so if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it!

Please let me know when this issue will be fixed,
Thank you,

I want this picture to be deleted from my blog entirely. How?
