Viewing history in cover flow

Question

After resetting Safari, I wanted to use preview images for cover flow and checked the dialog box accordingly. I get preview images in top site, but my cover flow images are blank generic documents. Shouldn't cover flow show a website icon or page preview? How do I get it to do that?

Hi,
Viewing and customizing Top Sites
Safari identifies your favorite sites and displays previews of them on the Top Sites page. Safari chooses Top Sites based on how often and how recently you’ve visited each site. As you explore the web and discover new websites, the Top Sites page changes to match your interests.
To view Top Sites:
Click the Top Sites icon in the bookmarks bar.
To visit a Top Sites page, click its preview. Pages with new content have a star in the upper-right corner.
To add a page to Top Sites:
On the Top Sites page, click the Edit button. Then do any of the following:
Open the webpage in a second Safari window, highlight the page’s address in the address field, and drag the address to the Top Sites page.
Drag a link from an email message, text document, webpage, or other source to the Top Sites page.
Type the address in a document, highlight it, and drag it to the Top Sites page.
When you are finished adding pages, click Done.
To customize Top Sites:
On the Top Sites page, click the Edit button. Then do any of the following:
To specify that a page should be kept in Top Sites and not replaced by other pages visited more often, click the pin icon in the page’s upper-left corner.
To reverse this action, click the pin icon again.
To specify that a page should never be included in Top Sites, click the X in the page’s upper-left corner.
To display 24, 12, or 6 webpage previews, click Small, Medium, or Large.
To rearrange the pages, drag them.
When you are finished making changes, click Done.
