Jake,

Thank you for taking a moment to respond to my question. The theme that I am using, Newspaper, is a very popular magazine-style theme. I can’t for the life of me understand why it would expect small patterned images. However, it does appear clear when I tile it. The problem is that I don’t want to tile it.

When I upload the image, it appears perfectly clear when I go to Media. It is only when I actually use it as the background for the footer where the blurriness comes into play. That does suggest that this is a theme issue, I agree. I’m going to take my inquiry exclusively to the theme forums. However, if anyone has some insight here, please do chime in.

Yes, I am using Google Fonts.

Jason,

Thanks for the pointers. I guess you are advocating a, “Just do things the right way and things will eventually appear in the appropriate order” sort of approach. The website is new, and there are very few sites, if any, linking to it. So, point well taken that any incoming links would probably be to the homepage instead of the tertiary pages, which would have the effect of eventually “righting the ship” with the most relevant and timely content for each keyword being displayed on top. I guess I was just looking for some little trick or tweak that would allow me to exercise rapid, precise control. That may not exist, and that is fine. I guess I will just continue to develop and publicize the site in a logical manner and trust the search engines to display the right material at the right time. Thanks again.
