  Hi there! Whereabouts are you referring to making this change?

  In general, I would suggest ensuring that each blog post has an assigned featured image:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/

  As in the guide linked above, you add a featured image to a blog post while you’re creating or editing the post.

  After that, you can use the Site Editor to change the layout of your site, so you can decide where/when a post’s featured image shows up. For example, if you want the featured image to show up in a list of your posts, you’d be going to the Site Editor in Appearance > Editor (beta) in order to ensure that the template which shows all your posts includes a “Post Featured Image” block inside the Query Loop block. These guides may be useful, if that’s something you want to look at:

  • https://en.support.wordpress.com/templates/

  I hope that helps, if you do have any other questions let us know!
