Wordpress help - I am a stooge

    Hello, can anyone give me some directions on how to put

    http://captainquick.com/images/logo.jpg

    in the header of my website http://captainquick.com instead of the letters?

    I really am clueless about which file to edit so any advice would be awesome. I already changed the permissions so the file is writable from inside wordpress.

    Thanks

    Unfortunately your Web site isn't resolving for me (it won't load). Anyway, the file you want to edit is your header.php file. Assuming that your header.php file's using a H1 heading, you'll want to put a <span></span> tag pair right before the </h1> tag, and then use an image substitution technique to give the SPAN's background that image, then set it over the H1 element.

    To remove the words you should delete the following lines:

    That will remove the Site Title and description from your header allowing your banner to do all the talking from there...

    The code you'll need to insert the header is:

    Sorry thats as far as I could go by looking at code. I'm a guy who sort of places the code some where and sees where it goes, and then moves the code until its in the right spot. Thats my recommendation until someone more knowledgeable than myself comes by :)
