What’s the Content Summary For?
NOTE: This field is not for comments to the webmaster. That field is up near the top of the form.

The content summary lets you craft a short description of your content to display on the homepage and in search results. This description is often more clear than simply relying on the first 30 words of your announcement. You can create an inviting call to action or an invitation to learn more about whatever your announcement’s topic is.

If you don’t include a content summary, the announcement on the homepage will simply display the first 30 words of your content, which may not always be the best way to present it. Compare the two examples shown here and note the jumble of information in the longer one, which isn’t using the content summary option.

What Makes a Good Featured Image?
Featured images should be 16:9, clear, and able to have just the center third visible without ruining the effect. The ideal size is 860×484. We can make large images smaller, but making small images larger can affect the quality.

We use featured images in 2 different ways: they display fully on the homepage and when viewing the post, but in Compass, typically only the middle third is visible. (See examples on the right.)

It’s best not to include text in your image, and you must not use copyrighted images. As stated below, if for any reason we can’t use an image that you submit, we will let you know.
