   Hi,

   I've been checking different templates out for my blog and so far I like the Classic Theme the best, but I am trying to figure out how to have an image instead of just color in the header. There is no images folder in that theme, so I guess it would be through the style.css, but I am not sure how to do that.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   yes, in the stylesheet
   find this:
   

   #header {
   	background: #90a090;
   	border-bottom: 3px double #aba;
   	border-left: 1px solid #9a9;
   	border-right: 1px solid #565;
   	border-top: 1px solid #9a9;
   	font: italic normal 230% 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
   	letter-spacing: 0.2em;
   	margin: 0;
   	padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px;
   }

   change the background line to this:
   background: #90a090 url(my_header.jpg) no-repeat;
   make sure you change my_header.jpg to the name of your header file.

   also add a line
   height: 150px;
   and make sure instead of 150 its the height of your header image.

   put the header image in the folder with the theme's php files - that will work with the background code above

   You may have to play with the padding.
   padding: 15px 10px 15px 60px;
   the order is top right bottom left

   If you need to adjust the text that appears in the header area its in header.php

   I was able to change the header with the classic-ii theme, but I just cannot get the classic theme to use my image for the header instead of the color. UGH.
