    Please have a look at seo.catdynamics .com - I have designed the header with same dimensions -

    Now I want to change it - I am using wordpress - theme is clean copy

    Howcan I change it? - like in other themes, we can change the image of header with the image we want and it automatically gets changed but in this case how can we do so?.....

    Please help!

    I just discovered, this theme works the same way - just the header image was hidden in a hard to find place ....
    Now the problem is - How to remove those overlapping links - I can remove it from wordpress options title and tag line but the SEO would be disturbed in that case....

    go into your header.php file and look for "header.jpg", then simply change the link that's wrapped around it.

    Thanks! oh, one last thing - some of those template designers call the header graphic in the style.css file - look for "header.jpg" in there too.

    Thanks Dutchman -

    I want the following tweaks for the seo.catdynamics .com (please have a look at essential-seo .com css file for all references)

    a) Remove the very top grey border (no gap).

    b) Make backgorund color where links sit darker blue.

    c) Make links smaller font.

    d) The lighter blue needs to sit under the darker blue where the links are.

    e) The bottom brown line needs to be thicker and darker.

    Any CSS player here?

    you have to go to the style.css file and check it out. the links have usually something like "hover:a".
    I would suggest getting your blog on a localhost (I use xampp; there are tutorials online depending on your OS) and then you can play around with your theme without doing any harm to the online blog.

    It shouldn't take long, you just need to figure out how the designer named all the divs.

    Thats what I did with my design and got out pretty good. Check it out and tell me what you think (It's also free to download ;)
