    You need to change that in header.php under your theme folder.

    Is there a logo? If not just go to Settings/General and you can change the heading and sub-heading.

    Or if it's a logo RIGHT click on it and either "view image" or "properties" depending on your browser you can see the name, size of the logo and where it's located. Just create one with the same name and dimensions and upload it to the folder (usually in the theme "images" folder) and overwrite the existing file.

    As a quick fix, try creating an image that you want as your header, just make sure the background is transparent and it is saved as png 24. Then set that image as the background of your header div using css.

    You can always opt for a more straightforward to use theme...

    What logo Are you trying to change? If you 're talking about the text just go to Settings/General

    If you're talking about the background image:

    http://triggerphotography.com/wp-content/themes/dragonskin/images/dragonskin.jpg

    512px × 512px

    create the custom header to this dimensions, name it dragonskin.jpg, and upload it and overwrite the existing file. If you want to change the dragonskin.jpg to your keyword you'll need to modify the css file. Just do a search for dragonskin.jpg and rename it. If you want to modify the size you can do that also If you need the full size of the theme for the logo look in your css file.

    Good call....there are plenty of great themes around. Some specifically for photography websites. Just do a Google search for photography wordpress themes.

    Unfortunately I don't think creating a new version of dragonskin.jpg at 512x512 will work as it seems like that is a repeating background image. You could create an image that is the width of your theme and set it as no repeat. Then have a block background color. But that's probably not what you want...

    I think adding background img to header div is the way to go...

    You can add it just besides your logo in header.php if you want.

    DON.
