 * I have placed a photograph in the background of my page and it looks great on
   my 17″ laptop, but when I view the page on my 13″ laptop, the image is cropped.
 * Is there a way to make the background image responsive?
 * Here is a link to my site:

 * Hi David
    It is difficult to give you an exact answer depending on how exactly
   you want your design. If you don’t mind the background image filling the whole
   of the background then you could try adding the following to your custom css
 * body.custom-background {
    background-size: cover; }
 * That should scale the image down to the viewport size.
