What is the optimum size of an image in EasyBlog so it is not vertically cut off in LinkedIn?

I want to start driving my LinkedIn connections to my EasyBlog posts. No matter what the size of the image PNG in the EasyBlog post, when I add the URL into the LinkedIn Share field, the image seems to re-size up, and the bottom of the image from the blog post gets cut off. How do I get the LinkedIn Share to display the full size image on the post? What I want to do seems to be done thousands of times a day by others, so I'm a bit flabbergasted. See attached.

Thanks in advance,
EdS
Hello Ed,

You should make your image dimension in to 180x110 so the bottom part does not get cut off, a perfect square to be at least.

Hope that helps.

Hey Khairul,

Thanks for the prompt reply. This didn't work, however. It doesn't seem to matter what the size of the holy grail image is on the Easyblog post, it always displays the same in the LinkedIn share, and always cut off. I just did notice that, if I am editing an Easyblog post, and I click "Insert Media", the representations of all of my holy grail images in the media library, no matter the size, are almost exactly the same, and cut off exactly the same way as they are in the linkedin share. Is this a clue?

Hello Eds,

When you post a blog post and have it auto posted to LinkedIn, LinkedIn would actually crop these images to fit accordingly within their stream data. These cropping were not being done by EasyBlog because we don't crop images that are sent to LinkedIn. Unfortunately there's no work around for this as we do not have control over how LinkedIn decides to display the content.
