  The Superhero Theme displays a browser width image feature on the home page; it is mostly this feature that caused me to choose it. I have been trying to load an image to be full-width but I have been unsuccessful. Please help…before I feel too stupid.

  Please consult the theme description here. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

  Superhero features a Custom Header that can be set under Appearance → Header. However, many bloggers assume the featured Featured Content Section at the top is the header when it is not. You are confused. Superhero does not have a full width header image. The full width images are in the featured post slider.

  Superhero header > Dashboard > Appearance > Header
  Suggested width for the header image is 480 pixels. Suggested height is 150 pixels. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

  If you want to have featured images in posts appearing in the featured post slider across the top of the blog then you have to set featured images. Have you read the theme description at “Featured Content Section” here? http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

  You need to Create a post with a featured image that’s at least 960px wide, set it as a featured image and give the featured post the tag you declared under Settings → Reading → Featured Content.

  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options.
