  Help! I am using the Expound theme and when I set a featured image it doesn’t scale the image to fit in the thumbnail, instead places the image in the thumbnail box which cuts off lots of the image, is there anyway I can set the image to fit exactly inside the thumnail box without the image appearing stretched or squashed?

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

  What are the optimum dimensions for the featured images?
  theme description link http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/expound/
  live demo link http://expounddemo.wordpress.com/

  I note the first one in the live demo site is:
  700px × 466px (scaled to 580px × 386px)
  http://expounddemo.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/flight.jpg?w=700&h=465
  front page: 460px × 260px
  http://expounddemo.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/boat.jpg?w=460&h=260&crop=1

  I note the second one is:
  700px × 467px (scaled to 580px × 387px)

  front page 220px × 126px
