Blog Theme help with header change

    I am using Blog Theme and did not purchase the support (I know I am cheap, actually just broke). The only thing I am having trouble with is changing the header. In Blog Theme options page is says to:
    Paste the full URL of your custom logo image, should you wish to replace our default logo.

    This makes no sense to me. How can an image have a URL?


    I tried creating a new png and replaced the existing header in my root folder on the server and this did not work either.

    If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Are you using WordPress.com or are you self-hosted?

    The image URL could be the address where it's hosted (for example on Flickr, Picasa etc.). Or if you are self-hosted, it could be something like /wp-content/themes/youtheme/images/header.php

    I am also using BLOGTHEME and I didn't find problem with this teme.

    check here
    www.chodirin.or.id
    Code (markup):
    To change your logo header, you should create a new image, size 216 x 22px in png type.. Rename your logo to logo-trans.png

    Put your logo each these folder below. (It will replace old logo-trans.png with new logo-trans.png)

    blogtheme\images
    blogtheme\styles\blue
    blogtheme\styles\gray
    blogtheme\styles\green
    blogtheme\styles\red

    Thats it. and then refresh your blog.

    Simple. Open "New Post" and click the "upload an image" square. When it uploads scroll down to where it says "image url", it should be something like http:// www[dot]yourblog/wp-includes/09/22/(image name)

    Your image is now uploaded to your server, and that is your image's URL.
    That is what it's asking for...also known as "the path of where the image is hosted".
