BL and WP - something just doesn't add up

I thought that one of the reasons for BL/WP was to be able to have a standard WP blog.. One of the characteristics of a blog in WP is that when you open it to the blog the posts will appear. That is not the case however with BL/WP. Here is my testing:
<1> I installed a completely brand new standard WP on my server. I created a couple of posts to that blog. Here is the link to that blog: http://www.garylittle.com/atst/ as you can see these post appear as intended. In other words whether text or images or both, they appear when the blog is called.

<2> Using the new 1.0.2 BL/WP I created some posts on the blog and this is what I get: http://garylittle.com/blog/
clearly the posts do not show up with either just text or text and images.

I am up to date with BL and WP.

Apparently I have misunderstood what the primary purpose of the BL/WP is, certainly not to react as a standard WP blog with posts. What have I done wrong??

Did you assign a featured image to each of your posts? This is how it looks on my blog danielleu.com/blog.

You can also disable excerpts on the main blog page -- which will cause full posts to display -- using the options in Appearance => Customize, in the the Wordpress admin. This is standard excerpt/content behavior for Wordpress themes. There's nothing strange or amiss about any of it.

Thank you Dan and Mathew, I am in a constant state of learning. You have expanded my knowledge so much. This is a great relief that the BL/WP does not jeopardize standard WP actions and options. I found it disconcerting to have to depend on a 'featured image' for display.
Here is the blog post now:
