   I just installed eximius tonight. I have looked at a bunch of "help" forums on the internet, describing how to add a custom header.....however, what I have tried through those has not worked with this theme. I already have a header made, I just need to figure out how to get it to work with this theme. Thanks so much for any help!

   more information please:
   link to your site?
   what exactly have you tried, and what went wrong?
   is your header image the same size as the existing (if any)?
   is it a background image, or up front?
   do you want to keep title and description?

   My site is: http://savingmoneywisely.com

   I have tried changing the file in ftp, I have tried inserting code into the header.php and stylesheet. Nothing changes.

   Yes, the header is the same size as the existing (blue background with text currently - my header is a background with text and images)

   I don't want to keep the title and description.

   HTH!

   the image is a background graphic in #header:
   

   #header {
   	width: 1000px;
   	background: url(images/header.gif) top center no-repeat;
   	height: 100px;
   	margin-top: 0;
   	color: #fff;
   }

   so upload your image into the /images folder of your theme, and if the name is different from 'header.gif', you need to edit style.css, the above area, and enter the name of your image.

   to see the result in your browser, you may need to refresh the browser cache by pressing CTRL F5 at the same time.

   to remove your title and description from the view, add
   #header h1, #header h3 {text-indent: -999px; }
   to style.css ;-)

   Ok, so I got it to take out the title and description by adding that text, but my header still won't show.

   I put the title and text back up so at least there is something there for now.
