My url is http://prettycoolgame.com/
The header as you can see is a bit messed up, I had an issue earlier with the post titles not working as links and now its the header, I was able to make the header clickable by adding that but now I can't figure out how to do the obvious, put it in the right spot. I would also like to make it so the search bar is infront of the picture/header because right now it is hidden behind it.
All I switched in the settings was I put the header in header.php and changed a little in the default.css.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

<div id="header">
<div id="branding" class="clearfix">
<div class="logo clearfix">
<h1 class="blog-name"><img src="http://prettycoolgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/header03.jpg"></h1>
</div>
<div id="searchbar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #branding -->
</div><!-- #header -->
The header behind it is what I put int he default.css, it wasn't clickable and realized I could make it clickable in the header.php. Thanks for the fast reply.

From what I see here your blog title is a jpg. Try going back to the original 1 header that wasn't clickable and link the jpg to your home page.

/* header */
#header { background: #1c4245; border-bottom: 5px solid #194A49; padding: 0 0 15px 0;
background-image:url('http://prettycoolgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/header03.jpg');

did you modify the theme's header in order to place that header3.jpg image?
I just installed it on my localhost and my header div looks like this
<div id="header">
<div id="branding" class="clearfix">
<div class="logo clearfix">
<?php if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) : ?>
<h1 class="blog-name">"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
<h2 class="blog-description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
<?php else: ?>
<span class="blog-name">"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></span>
<span class="blog-description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></span>
<?php endif ?>
</div>
<div id="searchbar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #branding -->
</div><!-- #header -->

Yeah it had that, from the Arras forums they suggested to replace that with
<div id="header">
<div id="branding" class="clearfix">
<div class="logo clearfix">
<h1 class="blog-name"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/logo.png"></h1>
</div>
That could be the issue but when erasing that stuff it gets rid of the text thats there by default.

In my opinion there is no need for that change, If there was they should have published an updated version of the theme with those changes made. I think you should change back to what came with the theme.

Okay, thanks for your advice. I may just try to find a different theme and go from there but I dont know yet, but you dont see a way to fix this?

There probably is a way to fix this but I only have a fundamental knowledge of CSS and PHP so I probably just don't see it!
If you want to keep trying I recommend looking at the header CSS and how it is placed. Once again Sorry I couldn't be of too much help.
EDIT
For extra reference go to the Codex specifically:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers
http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS
If you need any help with CSS sytax or stuff like that go to
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
I will keep on trying things for you and I might write a post on my blog for this matter.

Can you tell me the correct code to insert a header I created into the aurelia theme? I think I may have made a mistake by removing the default header in the images section of the FTP client instead of renaming it with my new header file name.
