  Hi,
  I was uploading new pictures for my post today and I noticed the picture was a little bit blurry. The picture I’m uploading is crisp and clear but once uploaded on wordpress, it looks a little blurry.
  Is there a way to fix this?

  specifically for this post;

  you can tell the words look blurry although pictures are okay since it blends in..

  Thanks in advance!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is happening because the originals are wider than the maximum the theme allows (922px), so they get downsized to fit, and images downsized by WP lose quality. See here:

  You should create and upload images that don’t exceed 922px in width, and you should create better versions: the ones on that post have a lot of useless white space left and right.
