How Do I Add a Cover Image to WordPress?

Adding a cover image to your WordPress blog is easy. Simply click the “Add Media” icon on the left sidebar, and browse to the image you want to use. WordPress will automatically resize the image to fit on your blog’s front page, and add it to the media library. To use the image on other pages on your blog, simply drag and drop the image onto your blog’s page. You can also use the “Edit Cover Image” link to change the image’s properties, such as the URL, size, and background color.

To save time, you can use one of WordPress’ built-in cover images. To find a cover image, search for “WordPress cover image” in Google or Yahoo! search. Remember to give your image a descriptive title so WordPress knows which image to use. For example, “Blue Mountain Lake Sunrise” would be a good title for a sunrise cover image.
