    I have a wordpress blog but I am not sure how I can change the header of the blog. I have no knowledge abt php. Can any one help as I do not like the default word press blogger. I would like to have my own stylish header.

    You just need to modify the file named header.php which is under wp-content/themes/default folder

    What do you want to modify? Graphics? Layout?

    You could download a theme from themes.wordpress.net that supports dynamic header image support. Then you can change the header from the WordPress Admin panel. This is the easiest way if you are not comfortable changing the actual code of the default theme.

    All your header information will be in a file called header.php in your template. Your stylesheet should also contain information relating to the header.

    if you just want to modify the image just find the image which is being used by the header and edit it in a graphic editing program.
