Featured images

It looks like the Featured Image panel has no effect on pages. Is that right? My option is to add media to the top of the page in the text editing window? In that case, can you tell me the ideal width to make the images? And is it at all possible for the image to go full width above the sidebar before the widgets start?

In pages the featured image works with the image format. When you’re editing a page, look in the right hand column for a box labeled formats. Choose image there to have the featured image displayed at the top of the page. That will cause the image to appear just above the page title. You could always place an image inside the content area of the page. To have an image there be full width, 700px should be fine for a page that has a sidebar. If there is no sidebar, then 960px will do the trick.

Hmmm. I changed the format to image and set the “featured image” to a pic that is 970 px wide. But it doesn’t go the full width of the page. The sidebar still comes all the way up.

You can use the full width template to have the image and content go side to side, without a sidebar. You can’t have the image go full width with the main content and sidebar below it.
