   My new page template works fine with this call, <?php get_header(); ?> but not with this call (I get a blank Page), <?php get_header2(); ?>.

   I have renamed "header" to "header2" to test and once the name changes it does not work.

   How do I get header2 to work? Do I need to add something to functions.php?

   Does it need to be expressed a little differently? I only pose that as a question because I am not sure myself.

   <?php get_header( $name ); ?>

   Reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header

   Thanks Clayton, I used that from the codex as well putting the file name, header2.php where the $name was but it still brought up the default header.

   I am now using a plugin for dynamic headers, http://nicasiodesign.com/blog/category/wordpress-plugins/. I probably should have done this right-off instead of wasting a rainy day.

   This lets me change the image although I wanted to change some info in the header itself like some of the meta.

   I bookmarked the link. It might come in handy in the future. Thanks!

   Just for info:
   

   get_header('myheader'); // will include header-myheader.php
   get_footer('myfooter'); // will include footer-myfooter.php
   get_sidebar('mysidebar'); // will include sidebar-mysidebar.php
