  Hi there,

  Which site is this for? I see you have a few on your account. You are referring to your blog at hswhp.wordpress.com possibly?

  If so, you can add an image into the post title area by setting a “featured image” for each of your blog posts. https://wordpress.com/support/featured-images/

  The image you set as featured will appear above the post title, similar to the example you see here:

  

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there,
  Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I still can’t get it to work like I want it to. Yes, it is for the Huh? Say WHAT? wordpress post.

  My photo is only 557 X 383 pixels and of course WP says it needs to be at least 1220 X 675 pixels. It is also a PNG file. Is there a way for me to change the size of the image, assuming that would help is there a way to change the size of the image?

  Also, I seem to only have Post/Block in my edit field on the right vs
  Document/Block.
  Can you suggest how I can change to these edit functions, again, if you think that would help?
  TIA

  There is not a way to resize images within WordPress, and I would not recommend it anyway, as it leads to images that appear soft and blurry. Do you have the option to source a larger image to use instead of the one you have currently?

  Another option is to use the image editing app on your computer to see if you can increase the pixel size of the image before you upload it to the site.

  It can be a little hard to spot in the sidebar on the right, because if you have clicked on a block in the layout, the sidebar displays the options for that block, not the full document.

  But you can click on the “Page/Post” tab to find the options if you do not see them. This is difficult to explain in words, so I recorded a quick video to show you how to find it.

  Hope this helps!
