   Edit the header.php in the theme folder (under wp-content/themes/autofocus). Remove on line 31 (or look for <div id="header"> tag)

   title="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>

   and the <h1> tag.

   Then add <img src="image url"> between the anchor tag and that's it.

   You can see how I did it here: maestroilluminist.com

   Hi Maestro, thanks for the overview to changing the logo. I am relatively new to this, so could you expend on this, i am struggling to replace the font with my own logo.

   So maybe a bit more detail in how to and what to change exactly.

   Thanks for your help,
   Clem

   Here's a step-by-step instruction:

   1. Browse to wp-content/themes/autofocus
   2. Open header.php with a text editor (vi works wonders)
   3. Go to Line 31, it should look like <h1 id="blog-title"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/" title="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
   4. Remove or comment out that line
   5. Insert at the same place <a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/" rel="home"><img src="image_url" border="0" alt="logo"></a> where image_url is the URL of your logo (this should be somewhere on your server or another web-accessible place). Use absolute URL if you use mod_rewrite to clean up your permalinks so that the logo's visible on all your pages.

   Hope this helps

   To get the horizontal navigation like the one on my site, I'd direct you to this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/285341 . Basically you just need to mess with the access tag in style.css. You might need to change the font size and other attributes to get just the right look though.

   And as for the page you mentioned, it's generated by the category archive template in autofocus.

    Hey. I have this photo as my logo:
    http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6713/logosrx.jpg

    But when I do as stated above, and edit the wordpress coding, it comes up much too big and in the middle of my Autofocus Themed website.

    Any ideas on how to make it smaller and in the top-left corner?

    @ mexcla:

    To change color, add color: <some color> into the access tag in style.css. To add a flash object, use the publish tool in adobe flash and replace all the code shown above. Category pages are already ready when you tag your posts with categories.

    @ Innovatist:

    To adjust size of you image, try use <img src=... width=... height=...>. However I strongly recommend you resize the image using a image editing software first so that browsers will load your page faster. To make your image align to the left, you can try <span style=float:left></span>' with yourimg` tag.

    Hi maestro_illuminist,

    I didn't understand where exactly need to add the code to cange the menù color:

    Could you pls. post an example adding it....in red if possible?

    /* =header */
    #header {margin:30px 0 0;height:200px;text-transform:normal;width:600px;clear:none;float:center;}
    #header a:hover{text-decoration:none;color:#888;}
    #header h1 {font-size:1.8em;line-height:0.8em;padding:5px 0 0;}
    #header h1 a{font-weight:100;letter-spacing:-0.05em;position:relative;}
    #header #blog-description {color:#888;}
    #access {display:table;height:40px;vertical-align:middle;width:20px;float:left;}
    #access #menu {vertical-align:middle;display:table-cell;font-size:1.2em;}
    #access #menu ul {vertical-align:middle;display:block}
    #access #menu ul li ul {margin-left:10px;}
    #access #menu a{font-weight:1800;}

    RE: Category page: I will try to tag post with categories, if there will be problems I'll back to you.

    Thanks

    Hi maestro_illuminist,

    I followed your logo instructions as itemized above for clemente88. Unfortunately, I only get a red "x" where the logo should be located. I think this means the image can't be found. Does the logo file need to go in a certain place on the server? I located it in the autofocus file.

    Thanks!

    Can anyone explain why a header image might only appear in some browsers but not Internet Explorer?

    Thanks.
