    Hi , Nite . Is that the correct way (as shown above) to add the code into my header.php file, under my wordpress theme folder ?

    Do you mean I need to access to http://mydomain.com/blog/wp-content/themes/THEMESNAME/header.php , and then right click to check the source code? If that is the case, I am not able to do it, I have tried , but I cannot access to that particular header.php file .. Please advise me on what should I do. Thanks a lot.

    Here is the header for the theme that I'm using.

    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US">

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-US" />
<meta name="language" content="en-US" />
<meta name="distribution" content="global" />
<?php if(is_404())echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
'; else echo '<meta name="robots" content="follow, all" />
'; ?>

<title>

<?php
$pageTitle     = wp_title("",false); 
if (empty($pageTitle)) {
    $pageTitle = get_bloginfo("name"); 
}
$pageTitle     = trim($pageTitle);
print $pageTitle; 
?>

</title>

<style type="text/css" media="screen"><!-- @import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> ); --></style>

<link type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/tab.css"  />
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/revolution_pro-10/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

<body>
    Code (markup):
    If you cannot access the theme's header.php file, then it sounds like you're on some kind of shared blogging platform such as wordpress.org. I can access my header.php because I have my own dedicated server and manage everything myself.

    I can go in to my header.php , in my hosting account, which is under my /blog/ directory . What I meant that I can't access was , the verification part. I thought you mentioned that in order for me to verify if the code has been entered correctly on my header.php file, I would have to type this URL in my address bar : " http://mydomain.com/blog/wp-content/themes/THEMESNAME/header.php " <-- I don't think you can do that, do you ? .. When I type that into my address bar and hit ENTER , this phrase of word come out on my page : " Fatal error: Call to undefined function bloginfo() in /home/aced84/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/i3theme-1-6-midnightblue/header.php on line 5 "

    However, I have successfully edited my header.php .. I just don't really know how should I verify if I have made the correct changes to the header.php file .

    Hope you get what I meant . Thanks for your help :)
