  What is the maximum displayed image size in the theme you are using? think about this clearly please because by analogy one cannot park a Mac truck and semi-trailer unit in a parking stall for a Vespa now can they?

  You are using the Twenty Ten theme. Detailed theme description here and maximum displayed image size here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyten/

  Prior to uploading any image into your blog, regardless if it’s a header image, a featured image, an image in a post or page, in a Post format (Gallery or Image), an image for sidebar display in an image widget or a text widget, you can optimize and re-size it in either a desktop image editing software or online image editing software to fit the space you intend to use it in.

  Thanks for help. It’s a .jpg file. Width/length dimensions aren’t the issue. I’ve posted many photos before. It’s an image of my eBook cover prepared for publication and size is 415KB (1400×1813 pixels). So, what’s the max number of KB I can use, if that’s the issue?

  415KB (1400×1813 pixels)

  Yes, an image of this size 1400 x 1813 pixels is an issue. The maximum displayed image width for the theme is 640 pixels.

  Please use on of the sites I linked to above http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2009/11/28/ten-free-online-image-compression-and-optimzation-programs/ to optimize and re-size the image to fit into the space you intend to use it in before attempting to upload it and your issue will disappear.

  P.S. Make sure the image being saved from the image editing program is at 72dpi and also at exactly the size required for the theme you are using.
