Sorry.

When one (like myself, for instance) specifically sets the size of an image to keep it from blowing up to the full length of your screens, it does not render responsively, and so does not shrink to no more than the width of the screen of the device it is appearing on. And so the right side of my image may run off the right side of the screen on some devices.

That is sad. It is probably fixable, but my programming skills are rusty.
