    I am trying to remove the title and slogan from my website, and just use my own photoshop banner. I looked at some of the other entries on this topic, which suggested changes to the header.php file. The only problem is in mine the only code is ">". That's it.

    I'm using the travels_around_the_world_cie039 theme. Here is my website:

    Help? Thanks.

    usual method is with css:

    add something like this to style.css of your theme:

    #name-text, #slogan-text { text-indent: -9999px; }

    or, if you can locate the style of either #name-text or #slogan-text in style.css, add text-indent: -9999px; to these.

    Errr .. wouldn't it be much simpler to go to Settings > General in the dashboard and remove the information from the Site Title, and Tagline fields?

    Or did I completely misunderstand the question?

    if you do that, the info would not be available for the meta title tag, for instance, and therefore not be recognized by search engines.
    also, if just 'pushed off the screen', it is still available to screen readers for better accessibility.

    if you have a good blog/site title and a tagline, you want the web to notice it.
