    You wanna know what I don't understand? I don't understand why people ask web design questions here that have nothing to do with WP, especially when they're supposed to be web designers, and then get all testy when they don't get answers.

    That said... why in the world are you trying to cover up the title on the background with a duplicate logo? Use one or the other. Also, what does Suzie Gibb the hypnotist have to do with Sonic? Just curious.

    Also, bumping is against forum rules, just so you know.

    Edie, suzie the hypnotist has nothing to do with sonic the hedgehog. They are tester logos, i will replace the sonic logos, with the suzie gibbs logos, once i have the dimensions correct. Anyway - The sonic the hedgehog background logo, and the sonic logo in the foreground (that illuminates, when you run your mouse over it) are tester logos. All i need to know, is how to move the sonic "foreground" logo, ONTOP of the sonic background logo, so that the logo is covering the background logo, were it says "sonic reboot". Are you with me on that?? All i want, is to move the text, ontop of the other text. So that, when i view the website, there is only ONE word that says "sonic reboot". Right now, there are 2 "sonic reboot" words, i need to move the "glowing" one, ontop of the background one. So that it only reads ONE title (when actual fact, there are 2 different titles, but sat ontop of eachother).. Thats all. And im not a website designer, im an amature designer, ive never used wordpress before, or .css, or ftp. We all start from the beginning when were learning new things, and this is were i am, hence - why im asking for help. Now being that this thread, is inside a "help" forum, im guessing im within my boundries of the rules and regs. Thankyou. If you can help, ild appriciate it, if you want to turn this thread into a soap drama, go elsewere please. I only asked for help. Thanks ;)

    In that case, start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    Also try using Firefox with the Firebug add-on and you'll see that your H1 "logo element" appears to be covering the entire page from the header downwards. Until that's fixed, there's not a lot that anyone can do to help you.

    Right, maybe im not being clear enough. (i have firefox by the way) My logo_bg.png is in the correct possition. My logo.png (the glowing title) needs to be moved ON TOP of the title in the logo_bg.png. Does that make any sense? And whats markup errors? Ive been using .css to fix all my problems so far, and its worked fine. I just need to know, were to go to edit the codes for the logo.png. So that i can move it down a little bit, and to the right. Covering the background title, in the logo.

    and were do i correct them errors? .css?? And what happens if i dont correct them?

    The site may not maintain an acceptable display across different browsers or user-agents. Your CSS will become increasingly difficult to maintain & adjust (it's already got quite a few serious errors) and may not be used at all by some browsers.

    By following the link esmi gave you, seeing what the errors are, and correcting them.

    Sure, you can use the WP editor. Just look at the link esmi gave you that shows the errors. It shows you right where they are.

    I'm still confused as to why you're trying to place a logo over the one on the background. It makes no sense. Do you realize that due to the different ways different browsers render things it may be off by a few pixels in some browsers? Why wouldn't you just use the logo and position it wherever you want?

    Lol, take this website here - http://www.sonicreboot.com - Notice how his background logo and logo.png are ontop of eachother "perfectly" - so that it only looks like one word? It gives that "glowing" effect when you run your mouse over it. Im after the same thing, so that i can replace the sonic reboot logo and logo background - with suzie gibbs logo and logo background.

    Understand now? My website again is http://www.suziegibb.com - once i have possitioned the logos, i will then work on the errors. Thankyou.

    It can't be done easily in that design. The image you want to move is the background for a div - inside of which you have a second div with the background image. The inner div (background) is lying on top of the logo image.

    That's one image man, not an image placed over another image. Here's one example of how to do it:

    Its 2 images dude, if you right click on the site - and click on "view page info" and then click on "media" - you will see the 2 different files. and the header of my website proves there is 2 images, as the second image is the one im trying to move into the correct possition. Anyway, its okay if you cant help. Dont worry about it. Take care.

    Well you do it your way then, although it's not the BEST way. I'm curious why you're asking for design help at a WP help forum though? You do realize that there's really nothing special about WP themes. They're just HTML, PHP, CSS, ETC like any other site no matter what it's built with. Except for the WP tags and what have you of course. Your question has nothing to do with WP. You might find better help at a web design help forum.

    Dude, seriously, its not that hard to understand, and "yes" it has to be sorted in wp, as thats were all my themes and images are uploaded, and, the WP editor is were i need to change the dimensions of the logo. So that they sit ontop of eachother, perfectly. Making it look like ONE image. Simple.
