Thanks, laliz — the database repair option in phpmyadmin did the trick. now just dealing with cleaning up all the corrupted content in my pages after the repair… but at least I’m not rewriting from scratch. Again, many thanks!

Just one more follow-up: I can see the image behind the boxed page (e.g., below the footer), but cannot see it through the main content page. My goal is to see the image behind the main content area. I have also tried inserting the following code using the CSS Stylesheet Editor, but neither the image nor color updates:

#body {
	background-image: url(http://localhost:8888/HGP_offline/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/HGP-Logo.png);
	background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}

Thanks for the prompt reply. If by background-image customizer you mean the Background Image field between Header Image and Navigation under Appearance>Customize, that is what I have done… the color (selected in Colours-> Main Content Background) appears instead of the image. Any thoughts?
