Using Featured Images

To enhance the presentation of your site, each page or post can have a single featured image. Featured images appear at the top of the page and in the preview when the URL is shared on social media. Featured images are not clickable.

Featured Image Sizing

Featured images can be set to span 1, 2, or 3 columns of the page:

Featured Image Size Width Height
Span 1 Column 460 px 250 px
Span 2 Columns 700 px 300 px
Span 3 Columns 940 px 300 px

How to Place a Featured Image

To set and size your featured image, go to edit the page. On the far right side you will see a task area called “Featured Image.”
