  hello wordpress team, i got a new question, hope i don’t bother you too much ..
  I bought the theme arcade for my blog and i actually love it but wanna chane something on my frontage. Do you know if its possible and if yes how i can do it? I would love to have on my frontage of http://www.jenniferbachdim.com bigger pictures next to my excerpt, because now they are quiet small and I would love to make them bigger. Is that possible? As well I wanted to add a small slide-show of maybe 3-4 pictures from my blog entry. Like seen on this blog http://www.neginmirsalehi.com Is this possible on wordpress as well?

  And for my blog post entries I got a question too, if I tag a link where the peoples can find the clothes I’m wearing, I saw on many blogs that they got a link not only like i have it. They got a link incl. picture of the item. Is that possible in wordpress? And if yes how can I do that?
  Like seen here http://www.neginmirsalehi.com/easy-breezy-with-denim-slip-ons-and-a-flannel/

  Thanks so much already

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

  This is set by the theme author when they design the theme, however if you are comfortable with CSS code you can adjust how it’s displayed.

  For example, you could add this bit of code to the Appearance > Customize > CSS area on your site:

  img.alignleft.wp-post-image {
  width: 200px;
  }

  This would adjust the width of those images from 150px to 200px. If you want to pursue this sort of solution, I would take a look at our CSS resources:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/css-basics/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  If you’re not comfortable making these changes yourself, you could put in a request in our Customization forum, here:

  as well I wanted to add a small slide-show of maybe 3-4 pictures from my blog entry.

  Slideshows or galleries can be added to your posts from the Add Media button. The item in the blog you linked is a custom slideshow that was built into the theme — for something like that, it would need to be included as part of the theme. You can take a look at the options here:

  theme.WordPress.com

  Themes like Broadsheet and MH Magazine have options similar to this, but honestly your site looks very nice, I would explore using galleries instead. :)

  if I tag a link where the peoples can find the clothes I’m wearing, I saw on many blogs that they got a link not only like i have it. They got a link incl. picture of the item. Is that possible in wordpress?

  You can create links like these: https://cloudup.com/c273T5QQL_V

  by highlighting the word you wish to link and clicking the link item on your toolbar, then adding a direct link to the photo of the item.
