    Hi,

    I just purchased a domain on wordpress.com, so i still have to use the free themes, however, i'm able to edit the CSS as I've upgraded.

    I was just wondering if I can replace the header text "NAME" "just another wordpress blog" with a logo I designed.

    Here's my blog-
    www.buyadspot.com

    Also, is there anything I can change to the theme's CSS?

    Really would like some help.

    Cheers!

    If you wanted to insert in an image you could do so via CSS but you would have to upload the image or host it somewhere else. And you can change lots about the theme via CSS.

    div#sitename { background: url(image.jpg) no-repeat; }
    div#sitename h1,div#sitename h2 { display: none; }

    First line would add the image, might require width/height to allow the img to be seen. second line is one way of getting rid of the text aspects.

    The theme you are using isn't using an image for the blogs name and tagline. To change the "just another WordPress blog" click Settings and change the tagline to what you want.

    If you look at the background image for your theme it is a repeated image for both the header and the content area visible here: http://s.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/andreas09/images/bodybg-black2.jpg
    so you would need to do a good bit of tweaking to the theme to add a custom header.

    Thanks for your help both of you. I'm a total CSS noob, I know very basic HTML but not familiar with CSS. I'm glad to hear that there is a way to make a custom header or insert a logo. I don't want to completely remove the text as well as I heard it'd affect how search engines pick up your site.

    Would if help if I get the whole CSS code posted here?

    And houdy, I subscribed to your blog :)
