That will take you to the page where you can upload your new image. If the elements of your new background image are not properly placed, they won't be seen. Fortunately, the overall background image size is still 1584 x 398. The biggest change is that your photo is a little bit bigger and aligned (approximately) 500 pixels more to the left. If your existing background image has important information on the left, you will want to scoot it over so that your picture doesn’t cover it! If you are uploading an image for the first time, make sure that all important information is on the right side within the 396 x 1215 pixels “safe” space. Additional Tips: 1.
