  I can’t make an image stretch to become fullscreen. Even using images with sizes such as 5000×5000 they still do not fill the entire screen.

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

  Images in your posts/pages are limited to the width of the content area of your theme (this is different for all themes). If you want to display your images at a much larger size you could use a gallery which can be set to show the carousel view. Try it out and see what you think.

  Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough.
  I do not want an image inside the content area of my pages/posts. I was trying to get an image to be stretched in the background. Whenever I set an image, it is too small and only takes up a small portion of the screen.
  An example of a wordpresss.com site that has a fullscreen background is: gsafaction.wordpress.com

  Oops my mistake, something like this should work:

  body.custom-background {
    background-image:url("http://placehold.it/1280x1024");
  }

  I don’t know how to use that, my site isn’t a wordpress.org site :p
