  Hi

  Just started to figure out wordpress. So when I insert a image on my first page I get it to small. I try to resize it by draging it but it will not re-size. I have no sidebar on this page so the picture should be bigger.

  when I click on the image it opens up in a different wordpress page and there it is shown in the size I want. So what do I do to fix this?

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

  If you want the best image quality possible then go to your Media Library delete the image from it. Make a new image and optimize and resize it to the exact size you want. Then upload it into your blog.

  Also give the new image a unique file name so overwriting doesn’t become a factor.

  We need a link to the blog you are talking about. The one linked to your username is using Black Letterhead.

  One thing to keep in mind, is that with the “no-sidebar” page template in twenty ten, the content area does not get wider. It stays the same width and is just centered in the content area.

  Is it possible to use css to make it wider?

  The blog I am working on is not online yet. I desided to download mamp for mac and to selft host it for a friend of mine.

  but I can make printscreen?

  If you are self-hosting, then you need to be over at the forum for self-hosted blogs, http://wordpress.ORG/support/ . Since I have no idea if there are any structural differences between the wordpress.COM version of twenty ten and the self-hosted version, this is a guess. For all other questions on this self-hosted blog, you need to be over at the .ORG forums though.

  .page .one-column #content {
  width: 840px;
  }

  This is 200px wider than the normal no-sidebar content width, so you will want to add 200px to the width of the “full-width image” value at settings > media.
