    Hey everyone :)
    I started a website at www.noordinarygurl.com I have Wordpress2.8 installed and using a WP theme that I have been attempting to customize but just can't seem to get right.

    The theme originally comes with a logo but when I customized this portion with my own logo it just didn't look right so I went changed the background image to include my logo. I edited the code so it would not show the default logo but now I'm getting the ugly red X. Is there a way to completely remove the logo coding so it will not screw up the rest of the themes code? Also I was wondering if there was a way to possible move the body content portion down so you are able to see the top portion of the background image so you can see my entire logo. I still have the previous files that I can upload back to the theme if that will help understand what I'm trying to do.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my post, hope someone is able to help.

    Corie :)

    Changing logo of website is easy, if you have the PSD file of logo with same background. All you need to change the default name to your name and slice it to the exact size website uses. For your 2nd querry, it's possible but may has lot of work as i may need to resize every thing again such as container, sidebar, content area etc.

    For complete work, i will need the original theme and PSD files of images.

    Thanks!

    @sipltech I originally changed the psd logo file but it was just to small and wasn't very visually appealing so that is why I just changed the background so that it included my logo. What is the best way to get you the files you need, the original zip folder? Please let me know!
    Thank you

    @justinloder you can see the image on my site www.noordinarygurl.com not sure which image you are wanting uploaded or given a url? Thank you for helping

    HI, to move the body down, go to your style.css, find line:
    .wpn_header {height:234px;position:relative;width:960px;margin:auto;margin-top:15px;z-index:298;}
    
    Code (markup):
    Change margin-top:15px; to whatever you need - 100px, 200px...
    See what happens...
    What comes to your logo, looking at your website, to be honest, I'm not sure what your needs are..

    @audraoc

    thanks so much for your suggestion, unfortunately it didn't move the body down at all, it is still covering the wording in my background.

    I don't really need help with the logo I just need to be able to see it on the background. The only other thing I needed help with is removing or coloring the gray lines that are dividers.

    Thank you so much once again:)

    That's strange, when I tried it with firefox webdeveloper, it worked...
    Even stranger: when I check it now: margin-top was changed from 15px to 267px... Hmmm

    Those lines, to my understanding, are part of the background image...

    That was the very first thing I thought as well...but I went back in to my saved AI copy and made sure the outline was black so I can figure out how it's showing up gray.

    Thank you so much for your help:)
