Now they&#8217;ve made it so that more than one tinier image can be displayed. The following graphic will show you the new size that I found that NOW works best.

The size of the new Featured Image, I ended up using was 300 px X 200 px because the tinier size blurred the entire image. Not sure why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/trish.parr\/\" rel=\"nofollow  noopener\" target=\"_blank\">my personal Facebook profile<\/a> to see the changes I&#8217;ve made recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even spruced up my cover image a bit more, so if you DO actually take a peek at my profile and view the Featured Image too, let me know what you think of them in a <strong>comment below<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3rd <strong>UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I told you that I would share great news with you regarding these changes once I discovered a great workaround.
