      Your theme is great.  I love using it.

      I’m creating a dev site and using circles for the Home Page Featured Images.  It seems that my images quality is very low, even though the images themselves are 600 x 450px.  The Dimensions on the Home Page Featured Images are 210 x 210px but when I open the image “right click, open in new window”, the images are only 150px.  Where do I change this setting so the images on the home page look better?

      Here is the dev site

      Thanks!

        I always recommend using a plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails whenever changing or adding new image sizes.  This plugin will automatically adjust your image sizes to fit the size you have specified.  Download and run this plugin anytime you add or make changes to your images.  Once you give this a try, let me know if it fixes the issue – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

          Thanks for the tip Wes.  I tried this plugin and the Home Page FI still don’t seem to look clear.

          What else can I try?

          Thanks!

            Ok I found out what it is.  Take a look on or around line 1268 in your style.css file and remove the width for the featured image.  It should look like this –

            .featuredpage .page img,
            .featuredpost .post img {
            width: 96%;
            }

              Thanks.  I think that helped?

              It looks a little better.  I’m not sure it looks as good as I was hoping.

                It should look normal again. Once you remove the width it will return to the size you had set in the options, which was 150px x 150px in your case. The quality of the image won’t be affected, it will show up exactly how you upload it, and at the size you specify in the options.

                The “featured img” width made the image look stretched since it was showing the 150px version of the image (thats what you had it set to).
