Hi, thank you in advance...
(1) The image appears cropped (for the small and medium thumbnails on Hubpages and when sharing on Facebook). I looked in The Learning Center but didn't find anything about that. Is it normal or should I have a specific size so that the thumbnails and sharing isn't cut off so much of the image?
(2) When I looked for my article in the hubpages search box, the main image is not one the shown beside my article info. Not sure why? It's showing my profile picture or other images I have in that article.
Thanks,
Lori
Hi Lori
This is how the thumbnails work as they are square.
You can try to add a first large image in a square format for a Hub if you would like to control how it crops.
We do use profile image in some cases for Hubs that do not have images that meet the needs for thumbnails.
Thank you, Matthew. I will try using more square images and maybe that will help in meeting the requirements for thumbnails so that my profile/other pictures isn't always shown.

In my opinion, one of the fastest ways of making a site look tacky and really poor quality is to include oversized images which are way bigger than they are in reality so they look pixelated rather than sharp.In addition, huge images do not always read well on mobile devices.I know HubPages wants...

Why is it that the photo that is loaded does not show up as the thumbnail next the hub on the topics page or even under my profile page? I'm confused as some of the thumbnails show the image of the hub (ie. peanut butter cookies) but not in others, even though I used it as a template (ie....

When I use my own photos and graphics I usually size them to 3x4 landscape dimensions. I think this looks best at the top of the Hub, and when centered.Unfortunately, for the thumbnails here on HP it doesn't look so good. The sides are always cropped off. On Facebook they get all kinds of messed...
