 * I am building a site,thefirefightonline.com, using the theme “New Gamer.” When
   I download a custom header image, the graphic is limited to 300x 80px. Any suggestions
   on how I can change the header.php coding to allow for an image that ends up 
   being closer to 960x 300?

 * The theme you are using hasn’t been update for years, and it seems that theme
   author has been missing too. So I would suggest changing theme, there are plenty
   of good themes that keep up with recent WordPress update.
 * So anyway, since this theme has fixed width layout, we can simply make the header
   area fixed width and assign our big logo as background image.
 * To do this, first we need to install a Custom CSS plugin, pick one that is simple
   and install and activate it

 * Upload the big logo image (960×300) via Media Library, just upload the image 
   and get the image URL. Once we have our image URL, replace the image URL in this
   code and use the code in Custom CSS
 *     ```
       .site-logo {
       	display: none;
       }
   
       #header a {
       	background: url("http://dummyimage.com/960x300/eeeeee/000000.png") repeat scroll 0 0;
       	display: block;
       	height: 300px;
       	width: 960px;
       }
       ```
