Are you referring to what is known as a Favicon? The little graphic that shows up to the left of your URL address in the browser.

The graphic needs to be an .ico file that you upload to your site, I simply call my files favicon.ico. There are plenty of sites online where you can make these ico files for free and easy, just Google "favicon".

Then make sure that in the Header section of your html that the following is there, use your editor in WP to get there.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

Perhaps a WP update wiped it out if it was there before.

  I hope you are using timthumb like function to retrieve your thumnail image. I think the problem is in the src of the image, that is the location of the image stored. So just check 2 things.
  
  wordpress dashboard->Media->upload monthly wise should be enabled.
  check your "cache" folder of the timthumbe folder.
  Check the upload folder whether your image is stored there.
  
  Thanks

hi simonbuzz,
i would suggest to check if gd-library is installed in your web hosting. it's a special library which has to be compiled with php, it helps to generate thumbnails.

STEPS OD CHECKING:

1. create a file eg: info.php

2. write in the following code

PHP Code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

3. upload the file to the server.

4. access the file that you have uploaded in the server via a web browser

5. search for GD library.

SOLUTION:
1.if you find that GD Library is missing contact your hosting provider to get
it installed.

2. if you find that GD Library is installed then download the error log and
check for the errors.

i hope this steps will help you to diagnose your problem and help you to get your solution faster.

  you can also paste this into a file with the extension .php , upload the file and load the url into a browser.
  
  PHP Code:
  
  <?php if (extension_loaded('gd') && function_exists('gd_info')) { echo "It looks like GD is installed"; } ?>
  
  [ 1 ] Thanks

OP, your problem is, the Image URL is broken.

Here is one of the Image URLs from your Index page:

1) http://timesnewstoday.com/wp-content...;a=t&q=100

The above image link should be:

2) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F4ngBjq33wQ/ThdRP6QEbjI/AAAAAAAAANI/ri1y1McrQ2s/s800/netspend-logo.jpg

The code on your index page is already set to resize the image (width="138" height="75"), just fix the Image URL.
