Custom Header

If you have a custom header image, it appears full-width on the posts page, creating an impact right away. The ideal size is: 2000px by 1500px. To upload a custom header image, go to My Sites → Customize → Header Image.

Featured Image

Content Styling

From large images and pull quotes to blockquotes, Coherent complements your content with simple, yet strong touches.

layout

To add a pull quote, you simply add the classes “alignleft” or “alignright” to a block quote. Here are some examples of how to do that in the Text/HTML Editor.

<blockquote class="alignleft">A bolder blockquote that floats into the left margin</blockquote>
<blockquote class="alignright">A bolder blockquote that floats into the right margin</blockquote>
<blockquote class="aligncenter">A bolder blockquote that extends into both margins</blockquote>
