What is A Featured Image

Featured

Your Featured Image is the image that shows up next to your blog excerpt on your blog page.

To set your Featured Image you’re going to click on “Set Featured Image” on your Post Editing Screen. Not sure what that is, or how to get there? See “How to Create A Blog Post” here.SetFeaturedImage

Once you click on “Set Featured Image” a screen will pop up where you can see all of your images that you’ve uploaded, this is called your Media Library. You will also see a link at the top of that pop up that says “Upload Files.”Screen Shot 2013-05-20 at 10.47.16 AM

If you already have an image you would like to set as your featured image uploaded, just click on it and a check mark will appear on the image. Then click “Set Featured Image.” Save your blog post and you’re all set. If you do not already have an image uploaded, just click that “Upload Files” link, upload the image and follow the same instructions.
