Change the main background image

You will want to customise this for your audience and blog post topic. I used an image

from Unsplash, but you can use whatever source you like. You can even use Canva to

make it really quick and easy - some photos they use are FREE and others you pay $1.

If you use your own image follow step 1 to upload, if you want to search Canva follow
