  I do not know how to edit themes. In the block- Private: Cheryl’s BTS 110 Blog, Fall 2021, I want to replace those words with a picture. Would it be easer if I started over?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  The text you refer to is your post title for that post. A post title can only be text. You can’t replace that with a picture.

  What you can do is set a featured image for your post. Then, provided your theme displays featured images, that will appear directly above, below next to, or sometimes (in grid-layout themes) as a clickable thumbnail for your post:

  https://wordpress.com/support/featured-images/

  Also note that setting a post to private like you’ve done here means only you as a site admin can see it. But your site itself is already in Coming Soon mode, so there’s no need to set the post as private as well. Any visitor to your site at the moment just sees this:

  https://d.pr/i/A2edQW

  So publish your post and pages as public, so you can see how it will actually look to your visitors once you launch the site. Private posts and pages behave differently from public ones – you can’t set a private page as your front page, for example – and publishing as private and setting them to public later just creates unnecessary extra work for you.

  Let us know if you have any more questions about this.
