  Hi there,

  I am not super savvy in website development and was wondering if there’s a function on the wordpress.com dashboard to see what the ideal image size should be for different media types. For example, what would be the perfect size for a blog post feature image, that would translate well to the homepage slider? Right now when I tag a blog post for the homepage slider, the image is just a big blurry section of the blog post image.

  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Joe

  Hello!

  The featured image works differently on every theme. So it really comes down to a matter of selecting the right image, making sure that the image is optimized for its purpose, and ensuring that the theme will perform the action that you’re looking for.

  You can often find various recommendations for image sizes in the Quick Specs box at the bottom of the theme page. Scroll down to the very bottom of the Chronicle theme page to see an example.
