  How to I change the background of my wordpress site so that it doesn’t just zoom in on one area? I want to make it fit to the page.

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

  By default, WordPress allows you to choose your background to one of the following:

  No Repeat
  Tile
  Tile Horizontally
  Tile Vertically

  If you have purchased the custom CSS addon, you can use a bit of custom CSS to make it so:

  body.custom-background {
  	-webkit-background-size: cover;
  	-moz-background-size: cover;
  	-o-background-size: cover;
  	background-size: cover;
  }

  So I can’t do it without paying for something then..? :(

  In this case, no, as you need the custom CSS addon to make it happen. You could also specify a background image that is very wide (say longer than 2000px), but it would be cut off by the browser’s edge.
