I'm still struggling to upload a new image for the header of my site based on the default theme. I'm uploaded the image into the images folder of the default theme. I've typed in its name to replace the kubrickheader.jpg and then updated but nothing happens.
Do I need to add something to the header.php as well. If so, what and where. Part of my problem is that the instructions in the wordpress codex on 'Changing the Header Image' seems to be from an older version of wordpress so it's hard to relate to my situation.
I've pasted in my header.php below. If anyone can tell me what instruction I should add and where I would be eternally grateful.
