    This is so great! I always find that I crop an image to what I think it should be and it doesn’t always look right.

    I never really thought about the size of my social media sizing. I guess I’ll have to re-look at mine.

    This is great information! Sometimes when I’m designing the photo for my social media sites, all I need is the right dimensions of what the photos should be! This would come in handy for sure!

    I don’t really put that much thought into this…maybe because I don’t depend on my Blog for monetary gain? It’s only a hobby 😉

    Size is definitely important! You can’t make the same size pictures for each social media site. Thanks for creating this – I’ll definitely refer back to it often.
