Nick The Geek came to my rescue..Eleanor,
By habit with working in Genesis I went into the theme settings and made my normal changes. I went into theme settings and choose "post excerpt" that is why it did not work for me.
In the demo it shows the full content without the featured image. If you wish to have your posts show the same as the demo you will need to show the full content and use the <!--more--> tag to cut off the content on your posts.

However, I still contend that if a certain plugin is used to create an effect like the j-querry light box one that was used it should say so in the tutorials. Not everyone is going to be like me and know to do a view page source to try and find an answer.
Also, I did learn something new thanks to Nick about "more tags" which I have not ever used
While this is a WordPress.com tutorial it is a great resource on using this aspect of WordPress and it applies to WordPress.org as well http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
Nick
The tutorial instructions for this theme where detailed but sometimes we forget simple things like the above will affect what we are doing. Kind of like how plugins are little kids and they don't always play nice.
So having a statement either to educate or remind would not hurt:
This site is using this setting in the Genesis Framework - Display Content - you will find this under.... If you don't use this setting you will not have this affect...
As for the Gallery I went and did a google search just to make sure I did it right and had no problem making a gallery post or a quote post
I miss the way the old forum was set up. Easy for newbs and intermediates to follow a video tutorial on theme setup Organized... each theme had it's own forum topics...
This is not a difficult theme but as you can see how one setting some one uses all the time when setting up sites is a habit can muff things up, it threw me off for 2 days.
But whatevs, Nick The Geek is Awesome Sauce
EleanorPriorMemberThis is what I am trying to accomplish on the demo site this is the featured image on the home page, and blog page:
This is what the directions say in the them tutorials:
Post Formats
We have also enabled additional post formats for this theme: Quote and Gallery. Compose your posts as usual, and choose “quote” for Quotes, which will have the title removed, and for Galleries, choose the gallery option. For the gallery, upload your images to the post, create the gallery and insert it into the post body.
When I follow the directions for the Quote Post Format it works fine...
So I hope you can see why I am lost and confused because it does not look like this on my site...
EleanorPriorMemberughhh... I found it (the plugin) to my dismay.... http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/jquery-lightbox-for-native-galleries/
It is being disontinued...
EleanorPriorMemberI did a view page source on the demo site and it shows a plugin I can't find could this be why it is not working?
<link rel='stylesheet' id='colorbox-theme3-css' href='http://demo.studiopress.com/pretty-pictures/wp-content/plugins/jquery-lightbox-for-native-galleries/colorbox/theme3/colorbox.css?ver=1.3.14'
EleanorPriorMemberHi on the demo site it shows as a featured image on the home page and that is what I want to mimick
And yes that one picture is the featured image because I couldn't figure it out and I am trying to accomplish it on this post
EleanorPriorMemberDoesn't turning off the site title mess with SEO? (that did solve the problem) But then again I am assuming if you are using Yoast SEO it shouldn't matter, am I correct?
Side note this theme is the Bomb!!!!!!!
EleanorPriorMemberIt was a plugin that was conflicting with the sliders... it is working now
EleanorPriorMemberThanks for the suggestion and yes I do have it set for 3 images. Like I said I have used the slider before and you have to choose between pages and posts, page / post numbers or category, size, how many images, type of content you want featured, etc so thanks for that helpful information on the slides for more then 1!!
I will look at the other slider thanks
EleanorPriorMemberBut thank you anitac ;0)
EleanorPriorMemberNever mind lol when in doubt deactivate a plugin or two because they are like little kids sometimes and need to be put in a time out!
EleanorPriorMemberOh thank you for that tidbit ;0)
EleanorPriorMemberyes as I hit my head and go DA!
EleanorPriorMemberWhen I did this exact thing it was an easy fix when I went into the post widget I choose left alignment instead of none and then they aligned nicely.
EleanorPriorMemberThank you, I assume the same rules in the old forum apply I am having other issues with this theme... so off to post again
