It would seem as though your Blogist theme would display a static page normally when selected as the default home page (instead of blog entries). Also, not having the ability to turn off featured image on each internal page is problematic. Seems this should be an optional feature even if option to turn off in short code. The LinkedIn icon doesn’t appear when a url is entered into the filed. Please advise
