  Hi, I hope you can help.
  I would like to have front page, or however it is called, exactly the same like it is shown. One picture to be in rectangle and the other in square. But I am not sure how to achieve that. 8)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It looks like, in the Apostrophe theme, you need to make the post featured in order for it to take up two columns. Try that out and see if it works.

  Thank you Hallluke. When I do so, I get 3 columns and I would like two, one wider and the other one smaller. Or maybe I am not doing it well.

  Hi there,

  Luke’s right that posts need to be tagged as featured in order for them to take up the width of two columns on your home page.

  To create a featured post, first navigate to the Featured Content panel in the WordPress.com Customizer. In the Tag name field, enter a tag that you wish to assign to your featured posts, for example “featured.”

  Next, navigate to the “Theme” panel and then make sure that the “Enable front end feature-starring for easier tagging of Featured Content.” option is checked.

  Save your changes and then visit your site’s home page. When hovering over posts here, you’ll find a new “star” symbol that you can click to mark your posts as featured.

  In addition, you can add the “featured” tag to future posts that you wish to display more prominently on your home page.

  Let us know how you get on with that or if any extra questions come up.
