For best results and fastest page load times, make sure your image is already sized to 67 x 67 pixels

Assign Categories To setup the 3 sections that appear under Highlights/Spotlight, navigate to your Theme Options Panel located under Appearance in Admin. Find the drop-down menus under Highlights Category 1, Highlights Category 2 , & Highlights Category 3. Select the 3 categories that you wish to display. The last post within each category will appear in those 3 spots on the homepage.

Which Posts will be Displayed? Posts will need to have a thumbnail image assigned to them in order to appear in these 3 spots. To do this, locate the "Custom Fields" section on your Post Edit page and fill in the following information:

Thumbnail Images You can use the WP Post Thumbnail Plugin to create the specific image sizes and insert their URL in to the Custom Fields automatically. Click here to view a tutorial on using the WP Post Thumbnail plugin. You can also insert the information manually by uploading each image size to Media. For image sizes, please see the Common Image Dimensions FAQ for your particular theme.
