 * Hi!
 * My theme uses the featured post widgets however, I cannot get the widget to work,
   in that it is not using a thumbnail for my “Latest Posts” Segment or any other
   segment that I have tried creating. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It is
   showing the entire picture and this is looking very strange.
 * What do I need to do to fix this?
 * My website is on,

 * IIRC a featured post widgets would be from a plugin or specific to your theme.
   Which one is it?

 * I am useing the lifestyle child theme. I interestingly tried taking the picture
   option off and that works, just not resizing the picture to a thumbnail.
