    I am very confused how the system determines what size to display for the featured blog image. For instance I uploaded the following:

    uploaded 546 X 464 size picture -> was re-sized to 546 x 360
    uploaded 421 X 263 size picture -> displayed original sized photo
    uploaded 1030 X 686 size picture -> was re-sized to 710 x 248

    So it looks like the width of the image remains intact up until 710px. However, how does it determine the height. Why was one picture cropped to 360px while a wider picture was cropped to 248px.

    Hi lsrmedia!

    It depends on the usage and instance. The theme and WordPress in general will crop your image or just re-size based on the values WordPress uses and then the theme’s own custom values.

    So depending on the specific instance it will resize the image so that the longest edge fits. If the shorter edge goes below the specific size it will still get smaller while the long edge ‘fits’.

    With a specific example (blog type) we can go into further detail. You can also see all the image sizes the theme uses in the functions.php file or by installing this plugin which reads them from within WordPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-image-sizes/

    Just keep in mind that image size does not dictate how it gets output on the front end. The html and css takes the source image size and then fits it into the layout.

    Regards,
    Devin
