Hello!
For some reason, my initial question was sent twice, and dangdv already responded (quote #1100231 and #1101712).
I tried your solution, but it only sliced off the bottom portion of my featured photos on ikigaiconnections.com/blog. It didn't make them smaller nor proportionate.
This is fine - I have decided to not worry about this problem anymore. Optimally, I would love for my blog page to have 3 columns (widget on left, smaller blog posts, widget on right), but I understand that is very difficult to do.
Thank you for your time!
Kasia
