+## How to add a cover image to your posts
+
+Adding a cover image to your post is simple and there are two options when you edit your `index.md` file in `content/posts/blog-entry-xy/index.md`:
+
+* Use `cover: "/path/to/absolute/img.jpg"` to link an absolute image
+  * Resulting in `https://www.yourpage.com/path/to/absolute/img.jpg`
+* Use `cover: "img.jpg"` and `useRelativeCover: true` to link the image relative to the blog post folder
+  * Resulting in `https://www.yourpage.com/posts/blog-entry-xy/img.jpg`
+
