I am trying to build a static webpage using Bootstrap 3.0.
The page is basically a narrative and consists of a series of sections divided with each other with background images, with text and other images / elements superimposed on top.

The page is intended only for scrolling from top to bottom, and each background image of the section should fill the horizontal width.
Later I will also add parallax with images using Skrollr ( https://github.com/Prinzhorn/skrollr ).
However, right now, I'm struggling to work with HTML / CSS using Bootstrap.
At first I thought I could do something like this:
<body> <div class="container"> <section id="first"> <div class="row annoucement col-md-4 col-md-offset-4"> <h1>The story of...</h1> </div> </section <section id="second"> <div class="row gallery col-md-4 col-md-offset-4"> <!-- Image gallery boxes --> </div> </section </div>
and then in CSS:
#first { background: url(img/1.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; }
However, background images are not visible - the # first element is 1140px x 0px, so the image is not displayed.
I suspect that I am using tag types incorrectly - any suggestions on how I can get the above layout working with Bootstrap?
