Post a CommentGlad to have this info. Thanks.
This is great information! Thanks for sharing, Tim.
Thanks, Tim. I have had issues with this topic & this tutorial answered my questions very well. :)
Hi needle felted dogs: The ratio will work, yes! But it's subjective as to whether "quality isn't affected much." What may appear OK to you may not look good to tens of thousands of readers who come by the category pages.
Oh my! I needed this info!
Thanks for including the different aspect ratios :) If a pic is smaller than
470 x 314 pixels, but still fits 1:1.5, will that work for a featured article (assuming quality isn't affected much)?
Immensely helpful and simple to follow. Thanks!
Thanks much, I like to have a professional looking image with my article and this explains what is needed well :)
Extremely helpful indeed! Thanks.
