You get a couple layout styles for your blog along with a few options with Preference. For Preference, you can have a left or right column (sidebars) blog layout, but you also get the choice of using a full sized featured image or a small image. To give you an idea what the image style sizes look like, I’ve provided a couple screenshots below:
Setting the Blog Featured Image Layout
- Go to Appearance >> Themes >> Click on the text link “Customize“
- Click on the tab labeled as “Basic Settings“
- Place a check in the box next to the “Small blog image” option, or if you want the default big image, leave it unchecked
- Click Save & Publish and then close
Setting the Blog Layout for a Left or Right Column
- Go to Appearance >> Themes >> Click on the text link “Customize“
- Click on the tab labeled as “Basic Settings“
- Place a check in the box next to the “Blog with Left Sidebar” option if you want a left sidebar column, or leave unchecked if you want the default right column.
- Click Save & Publish and then Close
