  I’m new to WordPress and need to know how to get by “about” section to look like the example. I would like my photo to fill the entire text box.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Have you gone through http://learn.wordpress.com yet? If not, do so.

  Other than that, I can’t help you since the blog is private and I can’t even look at the page you’re talking about.

  Hi,

  Just guessing blindly here. Perhaps your image needs to be bigger? The photo on the demo page (http://adventuredemo.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/about_011.jpg) is actually 980×520 pixels before it gets cropped to fit the About box.

  hafizr is spot-on: your original image is small, at 240 by 360 pixels.

  

  Try uploading a larger version, as he suggests.

  Also, just so you know – since Adventure is a premium theme, you can get theme-specific help directly from the developer in its own forum:

  http://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/adventure

  And in case you haven’t seen it, the setup information page is here:

  Good luck!

  Thanks, these are all great tips. It wasn’t initially working because I did not publish the page. I appreciate everyone’s quick assistance.
