Hi
I am learning how to use Newspaper and enjoying every minute of it – thanks for developing such a brilliant and flexible theme!!
I have two questions that I cannot find the answers to – I am probably looking in the wrong place.
1. Is there a list of the recommended picture sizes for the different blocks? I want to ensure that I don’t slow down the site by uploading pictures of too high a size/resolution.
2. Is there a way to make a post ‘sticky’ in a block, so that it always appears as the first item of the block?
many thanks
Alex
Hello,
Thank you for your kind words.
1) The featured image you upload for your posts needs to be at least the size of the biggest container it will display on. There is a list in our theme panel of thumbnail sizes here: http://screencast.com/t/uUNAZADLxua
Unfortunately there is no ideal featured image size. This is very subjective as different people use different layouts. There is also the post template to take into consideration. If you use a post template with a big featured image like post template 6, 7 or 8, then only a full hd image will display properly without quality loss.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here:

2)Our theme does not support sticky posts as it will break the layout of the blocks. you can however filter specific posts in a block by using the post id filter in block settings: http://screencast.com/t/F1eIo8eY This way you can add specific posts to your block.
Hep this helps.
Thanks.
