 * Currently I am not using featured images because of the sizes. How can I use 
   the featured images so that the images for the featured image look like the ones
   I currently have. Basically is it possible to have the featured image be any 
   size or just defaults to the size of the picture?
 * Let me know if you need further details

 * Hi
 * Yes you can make the feature image of any size you want. Just add the image size
   using the [add_image_size()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size).
 * Then using the handle in content.php line number 25 which now says.
 *     ```
       the_post_thumbnail( 'thumb-featured' );
       ```
   
 * and replace “thumb-featured” with your custom image size.
 * Please go through [the_post_thumbnail](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail)
   for more details.
 * Also I would advice you to do the changes using a [Child Theme](http://www.sourcexpress.com/wordpress-child-themes-use/)
   to keep the changes preserved even after the update
 * Hope it helps!!
