Hi Barb. Just curious about the resolution and aspect of photos you recommend for when posting updates. I found some guidelines suggesting using a 4:3 aspect with a minimum res of 408x270 (I think this might have been older specs guidelines).
I see Google recommends a 720x720 square aspect for photos in general. Do you normally just go with a square aspect? And what size res do you usually use?
Also, I vaguely remember in one of the livestreams you mentioning that it would be good practice to upload the image as a photo first and then add it to the post from the library. I can't seem to find that option when creating an update.
Thanks

Nevermind, I forgot that you have image size specs in one of the course lessons. 1080x810 looks pretty great after doing some testing.

Awesome ~ glad you figured it out while I dragged my heels responding!! My apologies, the notification got lot in the shuffle. As an FYI with the changes to GBP I'm you can no longer select previously uploaded photos.

No Problem, it was worth it to do the testing :)
