    You need to change your logo in header.php file.

    You can find header.php under themes/PassionDuo_Green/ directory.

    DON.

    you can upload image any where you want. better to keep it in themes folder
    wp-content/themes/PassionDuo_Green/images/

    as you are going to edit header.php you don't need to delete any files on your server. your current theme is not using any logo. so you just have to replacebloginfo('name'); function by logo.

    Abhishek

    You can use any size but don't use too large sized logo.
    a 350x 100 px will be ok.
    If you need any help i will be available for chat in yahoo messenger, just pm me.

    ok, this will solve your problem. complete steps

    First, open the style.css and put this code into it

    now, open the header.php and (find this piece of code) replace
    with this
    now you can add an image with a size of 350x60px and rename the file into logo.gif and place it inside the images folder.


    Contact me if u need any further help..:)
