 * Hi I have been trying to put up my own header image, however after I save and
   close it goes back to the default theme image. Please help!

 * I am having problems with the header image. I resize an image from 3000 x 1000
   to 666 x 444. (I know the ideal is 1280 x 444) but regardless of what size image
   I upload I get a screen prompting me something like ‘Select and crop’ and I cannot
   save the new header image without cropping it and losing some of the detail i
   want in the header image. The only explanation I can think of is the WordPress
   theme still thinks the image is the original size? Any ideas please?
