• I am a total newbie when it comes to making a web-page. You can pretty much assume that if it’s something you need to know then I probably don’t. I’m messing around with wordpress trying to create an e-commerce store! I would like to add my own picture to the header. I am using the Crafty Cart theme but if there is another one that works ok as an e-commerce store I am happy to switch. I have looked at lots of the forums but most of the answers people give are way over my head! Can anyone help me out? Thanks SO much!

  • Is your site online? Give us the link so we can look at it.

    Oh yes, sorry. It’s here on a temporary domaine:

    http://wp.stiborg.dk/

    Nothing has really been done to it yet, other than adding the Mimbu Theme.

    I would like to use an image with a logo instead of the current header, where it says Pudderdåserne – Endnu en WordPress blog. Is that possible, and how do I do it?

    There are several ways of doing it. You could edit header.php, remove the code that is creating the current header, and replace it with your logo image. However, that would not be my first choice, because the header text is the name and description of your blog, and you want that text to remain accessible to search engines, and people with vision disabilities.

    I would recommend you try this instead. First, upload your logo to the images folder of your theme. Then find the #masthead section of your style.css file, and edit it as follows:

    http://wp.stiborg.dk/wp-content/themes/mimbo/style.css (around line 138):

    #masthead {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #607B88;
    padding: 22px 0;
    text-indent: -9999px; /* move the header text off-screen */
    background: url(‘images/logo.gif’) no-repeat; /* add the logo */
    }

    Thanks 🙂
