  When I set a large featured image and this shows up as a replacement header, the image is showing up pixelated, for example in the following post:

  For some reason the image seems to be limited in size, i.e. the code for the image in the space for the header is as follows:

  

  How can I set a featured image that will show up with the proper resolution, i.e. not pixelated? Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong here?

  Thanks,

  Daniel

  I took a look at the site and the image is fine. And on a side note, a very nice site. Great pictures!

  The image quality is indeed poor. Images you re-size after uploading into your WordPress.com blog lose some color and sharpness. If you want better image quality use an image editing application to re-size copies of your images to the specific dimensions required then upload and insert those copies.

  Your detailed theme description is here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/yoko/
  Featured Image Headers

  Yoko also supports Featured Image Headers — if you set a Featured Image on a post that is greater than 1102 pixels wide and 350 pixels tall, it will display on single posts, replacing the custom header.
