  I am trying to change the main image on my blog- I use it as a class blog and it houses all my past updates. I want to update the image to a current photo of my class. This website was very complicated to try to figure it out on my own- I have spent 10 minutes clicking and reading everywhere. Please tell me how to do this explicitly. Thank you!

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

  Your detailed theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/sketch/ and that’s where set up instructions for it are found. Scroll down to Featured Images. The live demo site is at https://sketchdemo.wordpress.com/

  Featured Images

  Featured Images are important in Sketch. You can choose one of three aspect ratios, landscape (4:3), portrait (3:4), and square (1:1) in the Customizer under the Portfolio section.

  Regardless of which ratio you choose, featured images work best when they are at least 800 px wide. The optimal image sizes for each ratio are:

  Landscape: at least 800 x 600 pixels
  Portrait: at least 800 x 1067 pixels
  Square: at least 800 x 800 pixels

  Featured images appear in several places, including archive pages, the portfolio page template, and with portfolio shortcodes, so don’t forget to add one!

  The relevant support doc for setting featured images is at https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image

  re: adding images to posts and pages

  For accepted file types for uploading see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Are you running a browser and version of it found at http://browsehappy.com? If not, upgrade.

  Have you tried dragging an image straight from your desktop or computer’s image folder and drop it directly into your post’s editor?

  If you prefer you can click on the Add Media button from the toolbar of your editor to upload an image to your post.
