Hi Zed
Thanks for your reply. I understand that wordpress is using the page for posts and nothing from the pages properties is used.
That is what I am asking about, is there some way to get wordpress to put an image between the menu and the first post.
I have looked at the source code for the blog page and an other page and identified the bit of code that inserts the image. If I knew where the posts page is hidden I could insert the same line of code and it would then show the image.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
