Hi Zee...

I recently did a video overview of the Crawford theme. If you want to check it out I'll put a link at the bottom of this comment. I too was disappointed by the fact that the featured image for each post wasn't showing up in the regular "blog loop" on the home page. So I created a child theme that would allow that to happen. You can download that at the following link as well (its free).

Good luck!
