You could just rename the image to kubrickheader.png and upload it to the kubrick theme’s images folder to replace the current one. e.g. what i did to http://post.netspier.net
Hi Tonny
I’m sorry to be totally thick but where do I find the “kubrick theme’s images folder”?
I clicked on your link but can’t find the relevant post

Ah yikes I’ve just found an article
http://www.aetas.dk/archives/8
This looks like what I have to do??…man that is never gonna happen, the guy might as well be talking in Swahili!!
Nope I definitely need a plug in that works just like the wordpress.com does because that is about as techie as I get 🙁

I meant you look at the sites’s header. The kubrick images are located at wp-content -> themes -> kubrick -> images. You can do this with any image and it will automatically resize on the browser to the default header’s dimension.
Hi tonny
Are you ready for a long night? LOL
when you say the location “wp-content”
are we talking the folder inside of the wordpress files I downloaded, in my browser or through an ftp client?
Lee
They look different, because you are using two different themes.
On wordpress.com, you are using the Kubrick theme (that is the “Default” theme).
On the hosted site, you are using “Connections Reloaded”.
You can switch in your admin dashboard –> Appearance, to the Default theme, then follow tonnyochieng’s instructions
wordpress folder/wp-content/themes/default/images/
ftp to your server where the files are, and upload there the renamed image of the piano.
by the way any can work u could do this in the downloaded files before you upload anyything or just upload the image to that place in your site directory. I must admit even your wordpress.com header sure is clumsy.
seasidelee,
You don’t need to be a techie for “customize” a theme to yours ! Go to the folder of your theme and you’ll see an “images” folder, just open it and you’ll see graphics. Then you just need to analyse regarding the pictures and you site which pic is the one on your site and open it on a Gimp, Photoshop…and change it inside with out knowledge.
Thanks guys for all your help I’ve got it now
with a little help from figaro (over in the plug ins and hacks forum)
Its looking much better now 🙂 [click]
Thanks again
