    Hi, I need help putting a new logo into my blog.

    Here is the current logo, which is formatted via the Settings tab...

    Seems like your images are a different size. You should try to resize the new image first.

    1st image
    985 x 282 pixels
    x1ekqf.jpg

    new image
    1,007 x 329 pixels
    2r26k5k.jpg

    Since it's not keyword related I'd just rename the new image with the name from the original image.

    Or if you do want to make it keyword related, rename the image with your keyword. And edit the css template to reflect the change in the file name (keyword.jpg). If it's a theme, but it doesn't appear to be a WP theme, when I change the header it's usually in the themes Images folder.

    He is using tinypic for images hosting. Tinypic auto generated images names, so he couldn't change her images header.

    Hello ExtremeDesigns , Right click on your logo and view image location (on Firefox) .Now Open your Wordpress theme editor (On Wordpress 2.8 ) and select to edit CSS code . Press Ctrl+F and search for the image as found via view image . Now replace the logo image with your new Wordpress logo . Hope this helps .

    Why are you using outside image hosting for your blog, when you have hosting ? Are you under some kind of storage restrictions ?
    It's not wise, if what ever image hosting you are using has technical problems, or just closes up shop, your blog will have all of these empty spaces with error messages.
    If you just host your own images in a folder on your blogs root, everything stays up together, or goes down together.
