# Adding image to header

* I’ve designed a simple four page site using the default template. Everything
is fine but I would like to add two pictures to the header or, better still,
upload a single image from photoshop to cover the header.
* I’ve tried following the instructions in Designing Headers relating to Changing
the Header Image but when I open the header.php as instructed I don’t get the
code that the instructions say I should get. Am I doing something wrong or are
the instructions maybe out of date as I am using the 2.7.1 version of wordpress.
Can anyone throw any light on this or point me in the direction of more easy
to follow instructions?
* Alternatively, could anyone suggest a different theme which is pretty much the
same as the simple default theme but which makes it easier to isert images in
the header.
* Any help would be much appreciated as I’m stumped.

* You need an image that is 192px high x 740px wide. Rename the new image `kubrickheader.
jpg`, then upload it to the theme’s images folder. It should then be picked up
by the theme’s CSS automatically.

* Thanks. I’ll try that. I’ve been trying to follow the instructions from ‘Changing
the header image’ which said I should go into the the header.php and change replace
kubrickheader.jpg with the name of my new graphic, but I can’t see kubrickheader.
jpg anywhere. I’ve pasted in the code below. Will your approach work with this
php code.

* <?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>

css” media=”screen” />

* That code doesn’t reference the header image itself, just the page graphic, so–
yes it should do.

* I’m having the same problem, only I’ve applied this solution, and done some tweaking
to the style sheet for the theme so I can get the header the way I want. It shows
up properly when I look under “Header Image and Color,” but it doesn’t show up
on the blog — neither the altered image, nor the change in the style sheet. It’s
as if the blog is running from a cached copy of these documents.
* I’m running 2.5 because that’s what my web host has, and I haven’t worked out
with them if I can just upgrade it on my own or not.

* And I just reloaded the blog, and the altered image is now loading. But the style
sheet isn’t. I’m probably needing to be in a different topic.

* Final post on this — I edited the style.css sheet and everything is fine now.
It’s all good.
