   How can I add a logo like I have on my phpBB forum http://alienbabeltech.com/abt/index.php

   to my WP Blog- Site
   http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?cat=3

   From some links I understand that I have to edit the header.php file and in there I have to edit

   <div id="logo">
   <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
   <span><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span>
   </div>

   But I don't know any html or CSS. How do I go about adding a logo to my forum and what should the size of the image be ?

   You'll want to fold an <img /> tag into your ...:

   e.g.

   <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/directorywheretheimageis/logo.jpg" title="Return to Home." alt="IMAGE TEXT." height="x" width="y" /></a>

   Ok....I figure myself here is the ANSWER for everyone who looking to place custom logo into the header next to your title

   YOUR HEADER NOW (FIND THIS CODE IN YOUR HEADER PAGE)

   <h1>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>

   REPLACE WITH THIS (UPLOAD YOUR LOGO INTO YOUR THEME IMAGES DIRECTORY

   <h1>/"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wordpress/wp-content/themes/THEMENAME/THEME/images/YOURIMAGENAME.jpg" title="YOURTITLEORANYTEXT." alt="IMAGE TEXT." height="50" width="50" />SITE NAME TITLE</h1>

   I hope this help...Good luck

   I think the easiest way is:

   You have:
   <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

   Delete: <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

   And replace it with:

   <img src="the url to image" title="Home" alt="I eat boogers" />

   Hey geezerd,

   I followed your method and could add a Logo to my blog but, a border appears automatically to that logo. I don't understand why. The png doesn't have it but, when I upload to WordPress and View the file from Media it shows the border.

   Any idea why this is happening?

   My blog is here: http://soogran.com

    Hi!

    Thanks for the tip. But, I'm a complete new be. I can ask my hubby to edit the CSS file but, even he doesn't know much.

    If you can tell what to change he may be able to do it.

    Hello all, I've tried everything mention above and noting works. I was wondering if my logo was too big, if so how do I change the parameters in my stylesheet that will allow it to fit?
