That IS weird. Thanks for following up and sharing your findings! :-)

Weird - if I use the actual video dimension ratio - 280x158 - I get the issue above. But if I use 280x210 (400x300 ratio), then it works.

On the Brick-Mason sample home page (http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/) every post except one has a "thumbnail" or representative image/video above it. For videos, when one clicks into a post (e.g. http://themes.themolitor.com/wpbm/2011/05/21/vimeo-video-post/) the video is its original size, i.e. much bigger than the home page "thumbnail" video.

When I post videos they display fine on the post page but nothing shows on the main blog page - just the post title and text and "Read More." Since I have sized, per instruction, with a max video width of 280 pixels, the video on the post page is only 280 pixels wide, much smaller than the original video size. So 2 issues:
* Why won't the 280 pixel wide "thumbnail" image show on the home page or blog page?
* How can I display a much bigger image on the post page if I am instructed to use 280 pixel as the max width?

Thanks.
