Header Image is not showing up?

It’s ok …I was just assuming you had that image in that directory of: 179 or something.. But, FruitFly’s response should work for ya…that’s what I was going to say to start with…just wasn’t sure of where you had the “images” to start with LOL!…

Ok, it appears you’re using the Gila theme, so I’m basing this answer on looking at that theme.

In header.php comment out this line:

<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>

and this line:

<div style="padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-size: 138%; color: #eee; font-weight: bold;" ><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>

Then, change the .headerTitle section in your CSS to this:

.headerTitle {
margin: 0;
height: 147px;
}

That should do it. 🙂

I’m not a miracle worker, just a bit of a geek who likes challenges. 🙂

One thing to note: Your header image is 1278px wide. While that may look good to you if you’re using a high resolution – you’ll find that most people won’t be able to see the entire image. Anyone using 1024×768 (most common among visitors to my sites) or 800×600 (less common these days, but still prevalent) is only going to see part of it. On my 1024×768 I can only see “Timless Parenting Advice for Tots through” — the rest is cut off. You might want to consider resizing the image to at least 1024 in width. (If you do that – make note of the new image height and change the .headerTitle height designation in your CSS accordingly.)

Now then:

The light blue band is just the second line of code that you didn’t quite get commented out.

<div style="padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-size: 138%; color: #eee; font-weight: bold;" ><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>

Comment out (or just delete it if you want) that div – and the blue bar should go away. 🙂

I can’t help much with the adsense question, as I’ve never installed ads on anything I’ve worked on. Anyone else want to step up on that one?

Making the header image clickable is a bit trickier, since we’ve set it up to be a background image rather than an image on the page. You can’t make background images clickable.

So… here’s a possible solution:

Remove the background image from your #header in the CSS.

Add this into your header.php, under .headerTitle (and take out anything else that’s there):

<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/header.jpg" alt="Raising Small Souls" /></a>

And I’m not a parent myself (I have the patience to do this, but not to raise kids!) but I have a very good friend who is – if you wouldn’t mind me passing that offer to her, I will take you up on it.

Searching for that color probably won’t help you much, so I’ll give you the answer. 🙂

To remove that border, add this into your CSS:

.headerTitle img {
border: 0px none;
}

Unless you don’t want images on your site to ever have borders, in which case, you can add:

img {
border: 0px none;
}

And that will remove from all of them.

Hi, I’d like to show the image under the generic text and dual colored bacground that WordPress provides when you first start your blog.

I’ve inserted an image and it’s visible under it, but the generic text and bg color (blue and red) is covering it. How do I get rid of the generic text and blue/red background so I can see the header image under it?

Hope someone can help. Thanks.
