    Hi everyone :)

    I would like to change the header of my blog. Unfortunately, I do not know how to change it in this specific template. Could someone please help me or direct me?

    I assume I'll have to upload header image to my domain.. which I can easily do. Just need help HTML wise.

    Thank you!

    Heather

    Are you referring to the blog in your signature? You can modify the template in the header.php file. The blog currently has no image header so you need to mess with some code instead of just overwriting the image in the right folder.

    I use that theme your using on one of my blogs. It will be a bit tricky to add a header image into it if you have limited coding skills.

    Its a good theme though, works very well with Adsense.

    The theme does have a background header image its here: http://healthhasnofury.com/wp-content/themes/ProSense-Blue/images/header_footer_img.jpg

    Upload your new header to the themes image folder and then edit the themes stylesheet (style.css). Look for the #header area and change the URL to point to your new header image.

    background: #FFF url('images/header_footer_img.jpg')

    The current header is repeated so you will probably need to change that and possibly some other formatting.

    Go into the CSS template and get rid of the reference to the image background in the Header Information.

    Then edit your Header.php file, right under the <div id="page"> you will find information the css references for right and left header. Replace this information with a table that includes your logo etc. in it.

    This was one I just did up quickly.
