Placing an image inside a post or page does NOT make the image appear on the homepage. That´s what the custom fields do. Did you read the tutorials? Check out this one:

Hi Michael,
thank you for your support. Somehow the sequence of my posts messed up. With “this didn't solve the problem” I refered to ianthekisser and didn't notice your answer. I can remove the blue code but I do not understand the following instructions:
[QUOTE]
Now you have to put the FULL image URL (e.g. http://www.yoursite/wordpress/uploads/2008/11/image.jpg) into the custom fields value instead of just the piece of the path (e.g. 2008/11/image.jpg).
[UNQUOTE]
When I publish a new page and add a picture I do this as follow:
<a href=”http://www.mypage.com/wp-content/uploads/dsc01797.jpg“><img src=”http://www.mypage.com/wp-content/uploads/dsc01797-300×225.jpg” alt=”" id=”leadpic” title=”Chart Nordex AG” width=”300″ height=”225″ class=”alignright size-medium wp-image-45″ /></a>
Is that the right way to do it…because I don't understand what is meant by custom fields value???
Thanks for any reply,
Will

If that solution does not help I don´t have any idea 
I would need to look into your WP administration to see a bit more.

Unfortunately this didn't resolve the problem. But your are right. There is a problem with the imagepath. That is why I think the function get_post_custom_values(”leadimage”); has a failure. But I can not find it anywhere….This is really buggin me because I just love the theme and everything works just fine except for the lead and feature images.
Thanks for your quick reply,
Will

I had a similiar problem.
I right clicked on where the feature image should have been ( there was only alt text in it's place).Checked properties and realised there was a problem with the path.
I solved it by creating an uploads folder, chmod it to 777. I then went to Settings>>Miscellaneous and typed in the full upload path.Saved the changes and voila the feature pictures appeared!

I also got a problem with the leadimage and featuredimage. When I look at the source of my site (index.php), I recognize that the path to the upload folder is set correct but the actual filename is missing. I also noticed that WP does create new folders named by the date of upload. You can uncheck a box in the admin area, which I did but the problem didn't resolve. Then I took a look at the source of the ui.tabs.php.
<a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-content/uploads/<?php
// this is where the Lead Story image gets printed
$values = get_post_custom_values(”leadimage”); echo $values[0]; ?>” alt=”" id=”leadpic” /></a>
As far as I understand the code bloginfo('url') receives the actual url of my blog and then wp-content/uploads/ is added. The variable $values is set with the leadimage saved in an array and then the first row and column is echoed. As I can't find the actual filename in the source of my blog, I think of the following:
1. The function get_post_custom_values messes up???
2. The array $values[0] is empty?
3. I make a mistake while posting. I add a picture with its fullpath and then add alt=”leadimage” and id=”leadpic”. I guess this must be right, because only then the function get_post_custom_values(”leadimage” can find the picture I chose as a leadimage. Am I right.
I appreciate any help, because I can't figure it out myself.
Kind regards,
Will

That´s great news. So I do not need to login to your admin panel anymore. This image thing occurs with some providers and I don´t know how and why. It will be fixed within the next version of the theme.
The Tim Thumb feature which is used in the Arthemia theme seems to be very good but I haven´t tried it myself. So I can´t tell how much work it is.

Hello David and Michael,
Just to let you know, I got the images on the frontpage to work now. Don't ask me how but somehow it worked following the steps (agian and again) about putting the whole http://... file in the Value box. Unfortunatly the default way of putting the photos in its place did not work for me, which is a shame and which I still don't understand.
I love the BranfordMagazine theme and actually I am happy I changed from the Arthemia Premium theme to this one. Although the Arthemia theme has a few more advanced options like the TimThumb script to make the thumbnails.
Michael, do you think it would be posible to include this TimThumb script in your theme??? Would that be easy to do by myself or would that mean a lot of coding, something I am not very good in!!!. Anyway, keep up the good work and support, it's much apreciated!!!

Remco,
you are definitely making some progress! Keep on digging while you wait. Don't forget to make some occasional backup copies of your main files, to have something to reference as needed! I am doing the same thing with my site…

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much if you would like to have a look at my site. I know you must be busy with your work and this forum but, I (and a lot of people) really apreciate it and once the website is running ok I will sent you a donation for all your hard work. 
At this moment the website looks messed up because out of frustation I cleared the files from the server and uploaded the files again to start all over again but something went wrong with Filezilla and some CSS files were not uploaded. 
I'll sent you the login details by mail, is a nit saver I suppose.
Remco

Hello David and Michael,
Thank you for your response to my post. I havent sort it out yet.
David, thankx for finding this error which I could not see in IE7 but yes in Firefox (perhaps its time to change?) but, it has not solved the problem though.
Michael, Yes, I have read that post and tried it in different ways but it doesnt solve the problem. I think I have tried everything there is to try and read in your helpful forum. I have read over and over again the tutorial and I am a little lost now since I have been trying various days now to solve this problem.
Is it ok if I sent you the log in details by mail so you can have a look. I would apreciate it a lot.
Remco

Hi Remco, I am a newbie also; but notice this:
Looking at the leadimage on your site (using firebug), it looks as though there are some extra spaces within your features page; and perhaps you are missing the image link?
<img id=”�leadpic�” alt=”�leadimage�” src=”�http://www.spanjevandaag.com/wp-content/uploads/�”/>
Here is the same same code from the Branford theme demo:
<img id=”leadpic” alt=”leadimage” src=”http://www.wp-themes.der-prinz.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/leadimage.jpg”/>
I am not sure exctly where you can find this error; but perhaps this will be helpful in findin it!

Hello Michael and other expert forum members,
Although I've read all topics and tutorials about the “no image showing in the leadarticle”, which by the way are very useful but don't seem to give me an answer or solution.
The strange thing is that before I changed to the BranfordMagazine theme I used the Arthemia theme from Michael Jubel which has the TimThumb Thumbnail generator (by the same makers of Mimbo) and everything worked fine: images where uploaded and shown inthe correct thumbnail sizes without a problem.
Now I changed to BranfordMagazine because it's a beautiful theme and thank you for that Michael, very professional looking theme. I am trying to get the image to show, for now first in the leadarticle, and it doesn't work. I suppose I did everything correct and reading the topics in this forum gave me some help but not a solution. Perhaps I changed the theme to much and this messed things up.
Michael or anybody who is more espert than me (learning newbie), please have a look at my page and if you want I sent you the admin deatils by mail so you can enter the theme yourself.
Danke Schön and Thank You and Gracias!!
Remco
