    Is there a way to change the thumbnail that appears for your blog post? Or does the system just use the 1st image from the post?

    Thanks,

    Jessica

    Hi Jessica,

    If you don't set a featured image, the thumbnail will just be the first image from your post. To choose the image you'd like to appear there, look at the bottom right of your post editor area for "Featured Image" and upload the image you'd like to set as the thumbnail, then make sure you hit "Update" to save your changes.

    Hope this helps!

    Warmly,
    Jeni
