 * I changed the code to look like this
 * /* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a
   way,
    that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /
   images/ directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above
   that will get cropped off of the image. */
 *  #headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/
   personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}
 *  </style>
 *  <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>
 *  <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head> <body>
 * <div id=”page”>

 * Make sure you have #header commented out or changed as well.
    That’s just my 
   guess, cuz someone had a similar problem yesterday. Please provide URL if you
   need further help.

 * What I meant is this:
 * `#header { background: url("http://diningonthevine.com/wp-content/themes/default/
   images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }`
 * You need to change this to point to your own header image.
