   I'm trying to change the image on the header and I'm not finding the <div id="headerimg"> line in the code to switch the image to one of my own.

   I've uploaded my image to the default themes file, but I'm not seeing the name of the original image in the header template.

   thanks,
   julie

   That header image is not an inline image, so you will not find it in the html template files. You need to look at the style.css file and change the following to fit what you have:

   #header {position: relative; float: left; display: block; width: 750px; background: url(images/bg_header.gif) top no-repeat; min-height: 355px; padding: 0;}

   The bold part is what you need to change. Of course, the simplest way to do this would be to name your new image bg_header.gif and drop it in the images folder overwriting the old image with your new one.
