 * Hello,
 * I’d like to have a background image in the header of my site ([travelblaug.com](http://travelblaug.com)).
 * I tried this, but the header stays white.
 *     ```
       header .site-header {
       	background-image: url("http://travelblaug.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_0513-8.jpg");
       }
       ```
   
 * Suggestions?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Try this code:
 *     ```
       .site-header {
           background-color: transparent;
           background-image: url("http://travelblaug.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_0513-8.jpg");
       }
       ```
