 * I am using the Esther 2.0 theme and I would like to have different header pictures
   in my different pages. Is that possible and how do I do?
 * Thanks!

 * You mean the picture of you (or that man person 🙂 )?
 * That all depends on in which file the #header div has been defined.
 * In ‘standard’ wordpress themes, things in your header that don’t change are defined
   in a file called header.php, which is the same for all pages. An example of that
   would be the head section of the xhtml page. Same for the footer (footer.php).
 * It is however possible to move that #header information to a page (custom template),
   which can be different for all pages.
 * I’ve downloaded the Esther theme, and it seems to be the case.
 * Another (easier) possibility is to assign different classes to different pages,
   and to put different background images into these different classes. You’ld have
   to build some if statements into your header.php
 * You can check with `is_page('CV')` for instance that you’re on the CV page and
   assign a class called cv-class to it.
 * In your css you then add that cv-class with the appropriate image (and remove
   it from #header of course).

 * Or you could use `body_class()`.

 * Good addition, esmi, didn’t know about that one.

 * Sorry guys..
 * This seems to be to technical to me.. Is’nt there a easier way.. Or are you able
   to explain it in a better way – like if you were telling it to a seven year old
   🙂
