A Featured Image<\/em> appears next to a news post or highlight that is on your homepage. This image is meant to represent what the news article is about and to give insight into its content. On the right are a few examples of featured images.\u00a0It is important to note that a Featured Image<\/em>\u00a0will not appear in the article itself unless it is placed in it. However, after uploading an image it will appear in the Media Library<\/em> so there is no need to upload the image a second time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
