Make Featured Item picture clickable

Hello!
First of all – great theme! Thank you, develeoper, for making it!

I noticed there was a problem with the Featured Item picture, as the upper-half of it was clickable, while the lower was not (which is as big as the black gradient effect). Of course the title is clickable, as well.
It seemed odd, as my natural reaction was to click on the picture to enter the page.
I decided to add a custom CSS code, that would enable me to click on the entire picture.
Here it is (add it to “Additional CSS” in the Customizing window), but beware, as it disables the Title link hover effect, but still makes the Title clickable (no idea why so):

.post-preview {
pointer-events: none;
}

Thanks!
