Posting a Large Image on a page and front page blog background color

[Olive]

Hello again Towfiq!
Thanks for the help with the slider, it worked right away.
I made an image that I wish to post in the body of the page. The dimensions are 960X12500 pixels at 72 dpi, but when I add the media, it either shows up really tiny, or after choosing the “custom size” option It only shows a large black rectangle instead of the image I added to the media gallery (Which uploaded just fine a few different times under different file extensions (mostly .jpg)
Also, is there a way to change the background color of the entire blog section, not just the individual posts?
thank you again for your help.

Olive, if you want to display an background image on your site, you should select an image with dimension of 1600px x 1200px.

and please clear your W3 Total Cache. and disable minify css and js. as the theme breaks when you enable them.

Thanks

Thank you Towfiq!
I really needed that tip about minify.
Was so curious when all of a sudden the menu and side bar and buttons turned into soup!! aiee!
All is well now, and the gallery page is beautiful.
godspeed-
