  I am trying to put up a background image instead of a color. I found one that is bigger (1920×1200), but it still shows up as a thumbnail and I can’t make it fill the background. How do I do this?

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

  In the settings when adding the background image, make sure You do not have it set to repeat (tile) horizontally or vertically.

  Also, can you go to the media library, find the image and post a link to it so that we can see it?

  The problem is the size of the uploaded photo. It I change the settings from tile it is tiny and in one corner.

  We don’t have access to your dashboard. You need to copypaste the URL of the image itself (from the “File URL” field of the page you linked to).
