 * I want to keep the height of the thumbnails (or medium size) images the same 
   no matter their orientation (portrait or landscape). I’ve tried changing the 
   size settings, but my landscape images always come out with the width being the
   height I want. Is there someway I can fix this?
 * I want my pages to looks like this: [http://clarketolton.com/overview](http://clarketolton.com/overview)

 * Hi, the_post_thumbnail function might help you? Otherwise you could try settings
   =>media and set your medium (or other size images) to say, 150px height and 9999px
   wide meaning strict height but any width….I think!
 * the_post_thumbnail allows custom sizes to be called, there is a good about it
   on the codex…

 * I hadn’t.
 * Though after messing around with it, I discovered that it just wasn’t putting
   in the dimensions I wanted for newer photos that I uploaded, but older photos
   were just right.
