 * Hello!
 * I’m just getting into the wonderful world of blogging. I’ve set up my blog: [http://nintendo.hopto.org](http://nintendo.hopto.org)
 * But I want to customize it a bit. Namely, I want to add an image next to the 
   text at the top says “Wii Will Blog”. I’ve tried putting personalheader.jpg into
   my current templates .jpg folder but it doesn’t do anything.
 * So how do I do it?

 * I’m trying to do something similar. I downloaded a themed page and I want to 
   take the default header and replace it with a image I made with photoshop. hmmmmm

 * that is because you have to edit your `header.php` (only the default template–
   if you are using a different template you have to figure it out yourself. I looked
   at your site you are using the default kubrick template) to tell it to use that
   file instead of the default . Read from lines 35 to 41 in the `header.php` file.
 * Note that line 40 is commented out (i.e. it is not used). the ‘/*’ and ‘ */’ 
   on lines 39, 41 represent the php comment start and end calls. They are currently
   deactivating line 40 which says to use the `personalheader.jpg` as the header
   picture. If you erase lines 39 and 41 you should get the desired result.
 * I hope that is sufficiently detailed. No offense but you guys have a lot of learning
   to do, good luck!
 * [**edit:** I just looked in your templates image directory
 * `/wp-content/themes/default/images/`
 * I didn’t see a file called `personalheader.jpg`. Did you upload it to the correct
   directory?

 * I looked at line 39, 40, and 41 and I don’t see anything commented out. Is # 
   a comment?

 * FYI
 * Just to confuse you with syntax, # can be comments in certain programing language,
   but not CSS. In CSS comments are wrapped with ‘/*’ to start and ‘*/’ to end.
 * For example
 *  `/* COMMENT */ `
 * or
    `/* BLAH BLAH COMMENT */
 * In CSS # indicates a id style while ‘.’ indicates a class style. An id can only
   be used once in a page, while a class can be used repeatedly.
 * For example I could have a div (layer) of
 * `<div id="blackbox"> </div>`
 * then in my CSS sheet I would have to define that style. Suppose I wanted a black
   rectangle 20px by 30px. Then in my CSS sheet I would have the following:
    ` #
   blackbox{ background:black; width: 20px; height: 30px; }
 * Now suppose I want to keep reusing this element, I would want to make it a class
   instead.
 * `<div class="blackbox"></div>`
 *  In that case I would have the following in my CSS
 * `.blackbox{ background:black;
    width: 20px; height: 30px; }
