   WordPress kindergardener here. How do I install my image as the header for my blog? Please be sure to let me know if your answer is specific for the theme I'm using or if it will generally work for most or all WordPress themes. And thanks!

   Find the following section in your Stylesheet:

   #navigation {
   background-image:url(images/header.gif);
   clear:both;
   float:left;
   height:257px;
   padding-left:50px;
   padding-right:10px;
   padding-top:20px;
   width:890px;
   }

   Replace "header.gif" with an image of your choosing.

   You need to "view" this image and get the dimensions so that your custom image has the same dimensions.

   Ok, don't giggle now...at least don't laugh that much. First, I haven't found any place on the Stylesheet that has exactly that phrasing. There were/are two places where the phrasing was close. When I tried inserting code from Photobucket I got absolutely nothing. The page looks the same as before with no header image of mine in site. Either I chose the wrong place on the stylesheet or inserted the wrong code. On the coding I used coding that I got from Photobucket where the images is hosted. With this information what is my next step now?

   Also new to wordpress and I'm curious to why you can't insert an image normally. I get how to use a header as a background image, but why can't I just write:

   <img src="images/header.jpg" />

   in my index.php file? This seems like the simplest thing to me but my images are not showing up?

   Thanks for any help,

   Joe
