Adding image to blog post (featured) - orchardcms

I want to add an image which will be displayed on the recent blog post widget shown on my home page.
I am using orchard 1.8.1
I am finding a lot of information that seems to be out/outdated and not applicable to 1.8.1 (i.e. the designer tools module 1.6 does not work in 1.8.1)
Where can i find information on how to add change the content of the recent blog posts part to show the newly added feature image (added to the blog post content type)
Little frustrating because the shapes feature is enabled but nothing is visible either. Not sure if broken/changed or what.

Acumatica Wiki Binding to Custom Page

Is there any way to bind wiki article to my customized page.
For example, I have developed new page with pageID "PO309999".
Then I have created new Wiki Article with articleID "PO_30_99_99".
But when I click on Help for my page
There is no article to show in this view.
I have looked for this in Documentation and don't understand what is missing.
The answer is Yes to creating a wiki article linked to a custom pages (you can do it for generic inquiries too). We have many configured this way.
I created my first wiki article linked to a GI (should be same for custom page) by doing the following:
Make sure your custom page or GI is in the sitemap
Create the wiki article using the name of the page as you have done ("PO_30_99_99" for example). I also set the wiki article name to the same name as the sitemap entry title - but not required.
The wiki should now be linked to the new article.
You might want to try these steps over again by deleting the article you are having trouble with and trying again to make sure the correct references are auto generated by Acumatica. This could be a problem if you created the wiki article before your sitemap entry existed.
As Needed: The person that does our articles sometimes goes into SQL to changes some values to get things to work (could be old habits as the wiki packaging was improved over previous versions). You can do this via export of the article, modify the xml, and re-import if needed without going into sql. This assumes you want to keep your current article. Otherwise should be able to in the UI.

Custom Module Not Showing Under Widgets

I am creating a custom module for "latest news" type of functionality. I have been following the docs on the Orchard website (http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Getting-Started-with-Modules-Part-1) and despite following this tutorial I cannot see the widget show up when I click on the "widgets" from the admin in order to assign it to a layer.
I am able to enable/disable the module and it appears to be working correctly on this page, but it doesn't show up on the Widgets section of the admin.
I have spent hours trying to find any answers, but haven't been able to so I'm reaching out here in hopes someone can offer some advice. How do I get my custom module to show up under Widgets? All I have done at this point is followed along with the tutorial they have on their website.
You need to create a ContentType that - as #devqon stated - has the CommonPart and WidgetPart attached, and it's stereotype is set to "Widget".
Have look at Orchard Doc's tutorial on writing a widget.

Meta tag description does not get updated in Liferay

I am using liferay to develop website and for each page liferay page developed I have meta tag for description and keywords.
This SEO information I have put in SEO section of the page.
The problem what I get is that meta description is not saved.
HTML Title and Keywords are stored but Description information is lost and is not retained.
I googled for this issue and found it was an issue reported by many.
In one of the forums they had hooked seo.jsp page, I do not know how and where should I put this seo.jsp page and how it will help me to save description on the meta tag so that the information is not lost.
You can get hook to fix from DOWNLOAD link. Deploy this hook in your server, then it should work.

Migrating from Blogengine.net to Orchard

I have an existing blog/news site that runs on BE.net 2.6 and i would like to migrate it to Orchard. Right now i am testing the migration locally. I exported the BE.net posts as Blog ML and imported into Orchard. Two rubs - one) Orchard does not pick up the tags in BE and instead see the categories (of which there are only 3) as the tags and two) my excerpts in BE do not appear in Orchard after import. My excerpts typically have short text and an image and i want to be able to show those in the page that lists all the posts. But i do not want the image to appear in the details page. I found the fork of Blog ML that should allow tags to be brought corectly except when using that version the Blog ML options in the dashboard are not present.
You can see the live site (running BE 2.6) here http://nomorecocktails.com. I'd like the listing of posts to appear the same way with the excerpt and image in orchard. And if you can help figure out how to get the tags in too. I'd rather not have to go back through and edit the posts in orchard to ad the tags.
Thanks for any help.
I am the author of the BlogML Module. I have had a few reports of BlogEngine.net exports not going in to Orchard correctly, inparticular the Tags...
The people whole reported the initial problem did soem investigation for me and found that the Tags actually dont appear in the export file, i.e. the BlogEngine export does not export the Tags.
Could you please verify this for me? If this is not the case, please reply and I will contact you to get hold of your BlogML file and test the import locally.
The excerpts do not appear in Orchard because the BlogML module was built to only interface with the defautl implementation of the Orchard Blog module. This decision need to be changed. I think Excepts should be going in to the system, and will built it in to the module that will superseed the BlogML module. (https://orchardimportexport.codeplex.com/)
