  Photos uploaded in blog posts themselves are fine. But display horribly on the homepage. Why is this? How can I fix it?

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

  @shawnandallison: I took a quick look and noticed that the original images are very small. The theme has to increase the size of these for display on the home page, which would lead to some loss in quality.

  We recommend using featured images that are at least 450 by 450 for Apostrophe 2.

  As per @timethief’s guidance, please do post to the WordPress.org forum if you have further questions. We have a dedicated support forum for Apostrophe 2 here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/theme/apostrophe

  Every thread on the above dedicated support forum receives a reply. :)

  Thanks all! I think I have it figured out…a bit of a change, but all makes sense! Thanks!
