Index Images
When uploading an index image for a post, it serves as a thumbnail in lists and may appear in different formats across websites. Follow these guidelines:
- Choose a Picture: Avoid logos or text-heavy images; use visuals where edges are not crucial.
- Fill the Frame: Ensure the image covers the entire area, avoiding white backgrounds.
- Be Engaging: Use eye-catching, unique images for each post rather than reusing the same one.
- Size Requirement: The image should be at least 400 pixels on the shortest side.
- Cropping Tip: For portraits, use a slightly landscape orientation and leave extra space above and below the face to prevent cropping issues.
