RF- I’m going to paste this from the first part of my post because you should be able to find it in the Dashboard/Settings/Branding/Edit Theme (button).
Choose Dashboard> Settings > [Branding/Edit Theme (button)] from the Substack dashboard. From there, click the Homepage option in the left sidebar menu, then on Intro/Header Style/ and choose Media Feature from the drop-down menu.
You shouldn’t have to create a Section to use the Media Feature on the home page - though it’s an option for Sections, too.
(They changed the formatting terms since I wrote that post. They do that a lot without warning.)
If you still have trouble, we can get on a quick Zoom call and work through it. 👍🏼 Send me a DM if you need to.
Hi Barry: I'm curious about the logistics of your hero image. How did you get the title and subtitle to embed into your image? Or is that a full-width image with text designed into it? FYI: I've tried just uploading an image with a title and subtitle designed on the image, and then not writing a title/subtitle on the post, but Substack is requiring me to add a title. I'm also not seeing an option to get the image to be full width when viewing it on the Homepage. Is this a matter of creating a section on the home page and designing that? Thanks for any insights you can offer!

Just wanted you to know that it was THIS post that got me to upgrade to paid/pro. Practical tweaks with how-to's...perfect!
Thank you, Katie! I want YOU to know that I hear you. I have more planned to make your investment worth it.
