Thumbnail Cropper for Home page:

This template supports Thumbcropper tool (http://technowit.org/crop/thumbcropper.php) for thumbnail generation. Your image may be very big (like 1200×800 etc.,). But, home page only needs 210×160 resolution image. Now, let’s see the steps to generate this small image,
  • Go to http://technowit.org/crop/thumbcropper.php
  • Paste your image url in Specify Image url text box and click that Yellow arrow button.
  • Now, your image will be displayed with a Get the code button. You can crop this image now. Just drag the image and choose the best thumbnail for your home page.
  • Then, copy the <img> code and use this in your Post. Don’t worry, full image will still be displayed in post page. Generated thumbnail will only be used in the home page.

 I don’t want to use Thumbcropper tool 
If you don’t want to use Thumbcropper tool then follow the steps below. Otherwise, only top left corner of your image will be displayed.
Go to Template — Customize. Then, click Advanced and paste the following code in the text box which says (Add custom CSS).

#post-thumbnail {
width: 210px;
}

This will resize all your images to 210×210. If your original image aspect ratio is also 1:1 then your images will look good on home page. Otherwise, it may look little bad.
