 * Can someone explain what is the giant black area below my header image & the 
   text area, please?
 * Thanks! David

 * Isn’t that where your post’s featured image goes?

 * Am I misunderstanding the layout; there is a Header image, a Background image,
   and a Featured image?
 * In Customize there are options to manage Header and Background images but not
   a Featured image.
 * Where, please, might I try turning off the Featured image?
 * That way I can experiment with the three to see what layout works best.
 * Once I’m comfortable with this I hope to add a couple of other blogs, one for
   Amateur Radio, one for Alternative Energy, & one for Current Events.
 * That is, of course, if I can make them play nicely together – this one is installed
   in a subdirectory & I read somewhere that may make additional blogs a problem.
   Sigh.
 * Thanks! David

 * I looked in Support for help & it said the setting for Featured image was in 
   Screen Options in the upper-right corner of my Dashboard – but not so:
