A nice quick and simple blog post today :-)

A few members have asked how to create the cover image for their WA Blog, if they want to personlise it, rather than just using a free image.

My answer every time is, Canva

It's free and extremely easy to use.

The next question they ask is, what size should I create the cover image.

Well, hopefully my cover image above answers this one ;-)

WA actually display the cover images as 545 x 200, but this size is too small to upload, so I double these dimensions to 1090 x 400 and they work perfectly every time.

Happy Blogging WAmily ;-)

Thanks for answering this.

Image size is always a question for me, and I am sure many people.
Most are using Kraken or Ewww image optimizer as per WA guidelines. But it is difficult to be sure what size of image to start off with first. Everyone talks about image optimization, but there does not seem to be any clear training on what it should be to start with and what it should be at the end.

You're welcome Alex :-) This post is geared for the WA Blog here, however, yes, for our websites, I completely agree. However, Kraken or Ewww etc only optimise the file itself, not the dimensions, generally speaking. I will post another one for our websites, however, this depends on each of our themes and options. The main thing to do, is to find a size that works, then stick with it for consistency :-)

There you go - something that is overlooked in the training here.

Thanks

Great advice Chrystopher. Thank you.

You're welcome Derek :-)

Yea they are all black.

Thank you for confirming Geoffrey, SiteSupport are looking into this for us :-)

I believe my cover image is currently black due to this issue SiteSupport are working on the issue :-)
