 * I’m sure this a popular question and I’ve seen various forum and blog posts about
   it, but it seems like they’re all three years old at least.
 * I have created a flash header that I would like to include as the default header
   for pages that don’t otherwise specify an image to use. I’m using the 2011 theme.
 * I’m a programmer but not a web programmer, so while I can stumble around in PHP
   I do not have a thorough understanding of it. The flash element is not complex
   and is just a conversion of a video my boss would like to use.
 * Condescendingly specific answers like “replace X in Y with Z” would be fantastic.
   More general answers regarding PHP and WordPress are also welcome.
 * Thanks!

 * Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having
   access to an **unedited** version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range
   of site issues. [Create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
