 * My header image is 1280 x 240 and shows up fine on a desktop or laptop. By on
   my iPhone 6 and an Android tablet, I don’t the header image.
 * I understand that my cell phone screen is not 1280 wide, so what I’m wondering
   is what do other people do to achieve the look I have now on the desktop screen
   and have a different image for a mobile device?
 * I see controls to change the menu’s, but not the images.
 * Thanks . . . .

 * Use the image as a Logo not a Header image.
 * It worked better when I went that route.
 * You will have to remove the header image.
 * Just a note you might have to do some CSS on the logo because it shows a little
   more spacing, or just cut down the image size to a smaller rectangle.

 * Thanks Erik. I did what you suggested and I’m closer to what I want. Any idea
   how I can left align the logo? I added <div align=left> in front of it in the
   header.php file, but it also moved the site title which is underneath it.
 * Which opens up a whole ‘nother question. The theme is taking the “Ryan Video 
   Montville NJ” site title and putting it on every single page in the site as an
   h1 tag. And the page titles are being displayed as h2 tags. Isn’t the whole point
   of an h1 tag to tell search engines what the page is about? I must be missing
   something.
 * I tried setting the blog-title to 0px so it still gets picked up by search engines
   but doesn’t appear on each page, but then I get way too much white space between
   the logo and the site description.
 * Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate it.

 * Never edit core PHP or CSS files, always use a Child Theme or CSS Editor because
   when/if the theme has an update you’ll lose all edits.

 * I’m no SEO expert but your title as a H1 would tell search your site name, and
   H2 (post/page) titles explain the content on your site.
 * So I would say this is correct.

 * Do you have a Child Theme for your header.php file?

 * Okay, I’ll stay away fromt he PHP files. I already installed the Custom CSS Plugin,
   so any CSS changes I know to make in there. I haven’t the slightest idea how 
   it works or why wordpress knows where to put the lines of code I type into the
   plugin, but it seems to be working well and many people more knowledgeable them
   me seem to be using it, judging by the number of downloads.
 * Hmmmm…. child theme. Time to do some more googling. 🙂
 * I saw the phrase used a lot today because I’ve been doing a lot of web searches
   trying to figure this out. I’m guessing I don’t have a child theme, but I’m going
   to do some more work to figure out what you’re asking me.
 * I think I’m going to put my company name into a graphic so I can match my official
   typeface. then reduce the size of my h1 tags to 0px. That way I’ll get rid of
   that ugly title on all of my pages but search engines will still see it.
 * Now I just have to figure out wy the spacing doesn’t look right.
 * Thanks for all your time, Erik.

 * Well I did it with my test site moving the logo to the left.
 * It won’t work my way without a child theme.
 * You can just put your blog title to this code it be better then 0px;
 *     ```
       .blog-title
         display: none;
       }
       ```

 * display:none; worked so much better than 0px. It got rid of the extra spacing,
   thanks again Erik.
 * I’ll check out the child theme video this morning.
