Types of Images
Insert a featured image to highlight the main theme of a page or post. Include additional images in the page or post body.
Featured images
In WashU Sites, the featured image typically appears at the top of the page or post. It may also appear as a thumbnail in a list or grid. The content type — such as pages, posts, people and places — determines where a featured image appears on a page and at what size.
