    Hello there,

    Your best bet is to use an image that is 940px in width. Also, you should optimize the image, so it has a resolution of 72px. The instructions for image optimization can be found here:

    If you need further assistance, please do let me know and I can help.

    Hi,
    I thought I should let you know that when I followed your advice to check out the image optimization site, I managed to become infected with something called ‘Astromenda’ which apparently is a Trojan and will cause my PC to crash. This happened when I tried to upload a background image. I have tried to uninstall it myself, but with no luck. God knows what will happen now.
    Just thought I would tell you so other people don’t get caught…

    Oh no!

    That WordPress.com link I gave you doesn’t contain any malware. Astromenda is usually picked up during downloads. Regardless of how your poor computer became infected, it is a huge inconvenience, I’m sure.

    You may already have found this online, but here are instructions to clear Astromenda from your computer:

    If I can help further, let me know. Once you’re up and running, if I can assist with your site’s layout, please drop me a line. Sending all my best for a speedy recovery!
