Hi! I am working on my very first blog. I have chosen a free Wordpress template to use for it. However, I want to put an image in its header where there is currently nothing except the blog title. How can I do this? Please consider that fact that I have never done this before and I have very little knowledge about html. Hope to get some help on this. Thanks!
Log in to WP admin, click "Presentation", click "Theme Editor", click on "header.php" or "Header" (depending on the Theme) so it's in your editing window then replace <?php bloginfo('name'); ?> with <img src="/path_to_your/image.jpg" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>">, save out and you're done.
Another way is to add a background image to the header section in the stylesheet. This is from the default Kubrick theme (stylesheet.css): #header { background: #73a0c5 url('images/kubrickheader.jpg') no-repeat bottom center; } Can you give a link to your blog or the template?
@Cash I thought about the CSS solution for a second, but thought perhaps not all themes would support it.
Thanks, I should have mentioned that it needs <div id="header"> in header.php for it to work. It pretty standard but are a few who don't use it, or name it differently. Try Jack's method, Buhawi. It has a better chance of working.
