 * Here’s how to do it.
 * Decide which post and image you want featured. Click on the image in the media
   library to view its editor. Under the Save panel, there’s a label called File
   URL. Copy that link.
 * The image dimensions are also in that panel. For best results, dimensions should
   be at least 960 x 380.
 * Go to the post’s editor page. There’s a tab at the top-right that says “Screen
   Options”. Click on it and make sure Custom Fields is selected.
 * Scroll down to the Custom Fields panel. Click on ‘Enter New’. For Name, enter:
   bluesand_feature_this. For Value, paste the image link. Click on the button: 
   Add Custom Field. Then update or publish the post.
 * The image will show up on the home page as well as category and tag pages of 
   the post. If you want it to only show on the home page, go to the Customizer (
   Appearance->Customize). Under Sidebar & Featured Post, select Disable Featured
   Post on Category & Tag Pages. Then Save & Publish.

 * Is it a web safe font? See [http://www.cssfontstack.com/](http://www.cssfontstack.com/)
   for a list. If so, add the following to style.css
 *     ```
       body {
       	font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * Replace Times New Roman with the font you want and serif with a generic font.
   See [http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp)
   for examples.
 * If it’s a Google font, create a file called functions.php in the bluesand-child
   folder. Copy and paste the following into functions.php:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Bluesand Child Functions
       */
   
       function bluesand_child_google_font() {
       	wp_enqueue_style( 'bluesand-child-google-font', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400italic,700' );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bluesand_child_google_font' );
       ```
   
 * Then in style.css, add:
 *     ```
       body {
       	font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
       }
       ```
   
 * Get the font url and font-family of your choice from [https://www.google.com/fonts](https://www.google.com/fonts)
   and change the code accordingly.

 * You can create a child theme to modify the theme’s stylesheet.
    – Go to the WordPress
   install directory through your web host’s file manager. – Double click on wp-
   content, then themes and create a folder called bluesand-child inside the themes
   directory – Inside the bluesand-child folder, create a file and save it as style.
   css – Copy and paste the following into style.css:
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Bluesand Child
       Template: bluesand
       */
       @import url("../bluesand/style.css");
   
       .page .page-title {
       	display: none;
       	text-align: center;
       }
       ```
   
 * – This will hide the page title. To show the title and align center, delete ‘
   display: none;’
    – Lastly, look under Appearance->Themes in the admin dashboard
   and activate Bluesand Child.

 * The easiest way would be to add the more tag, <!–more–>, to your posts in the
   editor. See: [https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/view-all/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/view-all/)

 * Hi, Adrian
 * Thank you for the great review. I’ll certainly consider your suggestion for future
   updates. In the meantime, here’s some info and a solution.
    - When you use Add Media to insert images into a post, those images will become
      attached to the post (unless already attached to another post).
    - You can tell if an image is attached to a post by checking the Media Library.
      In the row for the image and under ‘Uploaded to’ column, you’ll see (Unattached)
      if it’s not attached to a post. If it’s attached, you’ll see the Post Title
      and ‘Detach’.
    - Featured images aren’t automatically attached to a post (unless you insert
      the same image into the post).
    - You’re right. The image upload order matters. The plugin grabs the oldest 
      attached image for a post.
 * So if you want to show the featured image (or any image other than default), 
   first find it in the Media Library. Click on Attach (if it’s unattached). A popup
   window appears. Select the post, and then hit the Select button.
    Second, detach
   all the other images attached to the same post (unless the featured image was
   uploaded at an earlier date).
 * I hope that made sense. Let me know.
 * Nneka
