 * hi there
 * I’m trying to customize the header but cannot find any information on the ideal
   header size – every time i upload an image it zooms in on the content..
 * thanks!

 * Hi!
    The image just needs to be big enough to cover the view port. If it is not,
   it will be stretched. So perhaps 2000px wide. (Don’t make it too big or it will
   take too long to load… 🙂 ) I’m not sure if I understood the issue right, can
   you give me any more details? Try opening functions.php and find line 284. Replace
   _center center_ with for example center top and see if that helps. It moves the
   focus from the center of the image to the top center.

 * Hi Carolina !
    I have a small problem, I can’t find where to modify the height
   of the id=”masthead”.
 * Thank you 🙂
 * Great job by the way !

 * The header uses javascript to make sure that it covers the height of the view
   port even if the Call to Action and Highlights are hidden. You can edit or remove
   this script at the bottom of the navigation.js file.
 * Remember to create a child theme so that you don’t loose your changes when the
   theme is updated.
