  I am using the “Twenty Thirteen” theme, and added my own image as a header. The image is 1600×230 pixels as advised. However, I find that the not all of the image is visible on the screen – parts of each side have vanished.
  Looking at the site on a different computer, I see that even more of the image has vanished.
  Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way round this.

  The site is bretbyphysics.wordpress.com/

  Thanks for any advice.

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

  I am wondering if it is the on your browser when you are viewing?

  Try reseting the zoom of the web browser.
  You can usually do this on PC by
  holding {control} and tapping 0 .

  It looks fine to me in my browser. the ends are only cut off when I zoom in.

  * first line above should say:

  Yes, changing the zoom allows me to see the whole of the header. But then the working part of the page becomes very small – it occupies only about a third of the width of the page, and the font becomes very small.

  Is this a built-in feature? Would it be better if I used a different theme?

  Thanks for your help.
