 The main thumbnails are squarer than the sidebar thumbnails, which show 133% more content width-wise.
-A bigger issue is that the main and slider thumbnails are cut out of the middle of the sliders, when a slider is used as a featured image. Thus a slider actually breaks down as: 29.4% - 42.2% - 29.4% width-wise for the main thumbnail and 22.6% - 54.7% - 22.6% for the side thumbnail.

 Currently, using the double golden ratio for the grey text box on the slider, the edge of the grey text box will appear in both the main and side thumbnails.

 Changing the thumbnail size for images in related posts is possible under Appearance > Widgets > Right Sidebar/Blog Right Sidebar > Yuzo: Related Post(s) > Style > Height & Width image (relative). However, as of now, it is not possible to change the proportions of these images. Currently the dimensions are supposed to be 140x80 (1.75:1 ratio) but are actually 138x78 (confirmed with inspection).

 The slider uses the featured images of posts. Therefore, these images can vary wildly in size.

 You can copy and paste your post's contents directly into wordpress's post editor. There are two ways to view your post - visual or text. Remember to check that there are no annoying tags in your post by checking the text view.
 *'''No Span Tags''': If the post is copied and pasted out of Google docs, there will HTML span tags everywhere that can cause problems. The best way to avoid these tags is to copy and paste into a text editor (like Textpad on the RDP). Delete all of the span tags that are visible in the text editor and then copy and paste out of textpad into the blog.
-*'''First 260 characters (includes spaces)''': The first 260 characters of your post, including spaces, will appear in the featured box when the blog post is promoted on mcnaircenter.org. Make sure these first few words are compelling.
