    Your logo is located here:

    http://www.comblogger.com/wp-content/themes/magazine/images/logo.png

    262x80 pixels

    Create an image named logo.png and upload it to replace the existing one (you can rename the original first so it won't be overwritten)

    You might also be able to edit the css files to use a more searchengine friendly keyword related image name.

    Or you might be able to change it from the theme options or something.

    Thanks Bob25, I found the logo but can't seem to locate the upload or area to replace it.

    You are going to have to code it into your header.php file. Currently, you do not have a logo there at all. You do have a banner image, which I do believe you can change underneath Appearance Menu in your dashboard.

    I bought this website from this website but it looks that option section for appearance is missing unless some kind of plugin is not added.
    How weird.

    When I looked at it first, you had the TwentyTen theme on the home page. Now it is different.

    You are using a Genesis child theme from the looks of it. You may find your answer in their forum at http://www.studiopress.com/support/

    It may be as simple as replacing the logo that you have in your theme directory with another one.

    I really appreciate the help this is so confusing. Can I just install a new theme will mess everything up. I plan on removing all content anyways and putting my own in?

    It should be in the wp-content folder, then themes. Choose the magazine theme, and put it in the images folder.

    wp-content/themes/magazine/images

    To expand upon this, there is no upload area unless the theme settings give you an option for it. The surefire way is use FTP to upload your image to the folder bob25 mentioned.

    Duh...forgot about that, out of habit I always FTP it even though I can do it from the theme.

    You can also go through your cPanel "Filemanager"

    Understandable, it does become trivial after a while and kind of a "unwritten rule" of how to get stuff up on the web. I just saw that the guy was trying to do a media upload thru the backend, and figured he was a little confused.
