  Hello there!

  You can choose the size at which your images display.

  To do that, you can click an image in your post. When the pencil icon appears, click on that.

  Then, you will see your Image Settings, which look like this:

  Change the size as you’d like, and then save your adjustments.

  That should do the trick!

  If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)

  hi robyn,
  when i put my mouse over the image in the post, all i get is a hand, which allows me to click and then i get a larger image in a new screen. i don’t get a pencil, like you suggest. when i click the image, i get the larger image and the magnifying glass.
  i thought perhaps you mean to go into the edit mode and then maybe the pencil would show, but that is not happening in the edit mode either, so i don’t know how to do what you are suggesting. thanks so much. anne

  Hey Anne,

  Here’s a walk-through of the process. Let me know if it works for you:

  1. Open your post in the editor. You can click here to do so:
     https://wordpress.com/post/84147640/4/?optin
     (Make sure the Visual tab is selected about your content box, otherwise you’ll see HTML code, rather than your images/text)
  2. Click once on the first, black and white image in the post. You will see this:
     https://cloudup.com/cpOqoirnHmT
  3. Click the Pencil icon. You will see this:
     https://cloudup.com/cxPOARrxbNf
  4. Under Display Settings, you will see the controls to change your image size. This image is currently set to Medium.
  5. Make sure you save any changes you make. Then, also make certain that you click Update to re-save the post.

  That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
