# CSS Header not showing.

 * I recently bought my own domain and have been playing around with CSS. I’ve figured
   out how to change my header image size but using the background: url(”) code 
   doesn’t work. At all. I’ve tried it with several different images from different
   places and nothing ever shows up!
    Here’s my CSS header code:
 *     ```
       #header {
       	padding: 30px 0 0 0;
       }
   
       #headerimg {
                     display: block;
                     background: url('Picture 2.png')
       	margin: 0 auto;
       	margin-bottom: 17px;
       	height: 190px;
       	width: 700px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I can still upload a header through the header uploader but can’t do a custom
   one in my code. That link is hosted through Filezilla.

 * Those two shouldn’t be that spaced over. Woops!

 * there is no element with a css id of `#headerimg` in your site.
 * where do you want to add the background image?
 * and if the image exists, it is in the wrong place for what is referenced in style.
   css
 * where is the location of that image?

 * I want the image above my site title. It was originally on my desktop but for
   it to have a link I had to have a host so I downloaded filezilla and put it on
   there. So that’s where it is now.

 * Did that make sense?

 * image location would be what you type into the browser to see the image.
 * the css style looks for the image here: [http://yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/brunelleschi/Picture](http://yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/brunelleschi/Picture)
   2.png
 * (and the image is not there)
 * (it might also be better to use an image name without spaces)
 * something like this might work:
 * `#header{ padding-top: 70px; background: url(??????) center top no-repeat; }`
 * where the value of the padding should match the height of the image.

 * AHH! THANK YOU SO MUCH! It worked! I had to up the px in the padding but it’s
   working! Thank you so much!
