  Hello,
  I am looking to change the size of my FEATURED IMAGES on the front of my page.
  The blog I am working with is http://www.untitled.tv

  Right now, the aspect ratio of the featured images on the site look like they are Print work. Id love to change the aspect ratio to be more of a 16:9 feel. Like a video vs a piece of paper.

  Is there a way to alter the aspect ratio my blog shows the posts in?

  The blog I need help with is untitled.tv.

  The size and aspect ratio of the featured images is determined by the theme itself and would require editing of the them PHP script files, and we cannot do that at WordPress.com.

  We can in some themes change the size of featured images using CSS, but in those cases we are calling on the browser to resize the image, and browsers aren’t equipped to do that well, which means that there will be a loss in image quality and sharpness. Aspect ratios of the images cannot be changed with CSS since it would end up distorting the image.
