* Hi all!
* This is a pretty easy problem I think, I’ve done some searching but I cant get
it correct. What I’m doing is that I’m trying to help a friend of mine with her
wordpress-site. She wants a header instead of just a site description.
* I’ve done the header:
* [http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg](http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg)
* And I’ve change the Header Background to that header.
My problem now is that
I cant get rid of the white area in the header, I’ve look all over the place,
and it looks like header-img.php is generation the final header image and adding
this white area. Though I cant find where to delete or turn of this “feature”.
* This is how my header looks like:
* [http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/themes/default/images/header-img.php?upper=FFFFFF&lower=FFFFFF](http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/themes/default/images/header-img.php?upper=FFFFFF&lower=FFFFFF)
* The site is here: [http://www.piknik.se](http://www.piknik.se)
* The theme used are the default theme.
* I’m shure that I can fix this if I do some more research, but I’m pretty stressed
atm, so I’m giving this a try here 🙂
* Thanks in advance!
* Regards Patrik

* I’d suggest using a 758px wide image for a start.

* you have this code in your css:
* ```
#header {
background: #73a0c5 url('ahttp://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
}
#headerimg {
margin: 7px 9px 0;
height: 192px;
width: 740px;
}
```
* and thisone on you header.php
* ```
```
* 1.) you should cleanup your header.php.
remove i.e. the `` and do you need the `
`
* 2.) i would try to move the image from the #header to the #headerimg
* ```
#header {
}
#headerimg {
background: #73a0c5 url('ahttp://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;
margin: 7px 9px 0;
height: 192px;
width: 740px;
}
```
* i am not totally sure that this is what you want to achieve, but give it a try
and have a look yourself.
* good luck,
bb

* Thanks BB, that worked like a charm!
Got another one for you!
* The “Posted in Uncategorized | Edit | No Comments »” line, is it possible to
left alight that one?
* It’s in the class “postmetadata” but inside there (in the style.css) there’s
just: “clear: both;”
* Where do I control the Alignment of this text?
* Thanks for all help, really appriciated!

* Got another header issue, how do I make it clickable?
I want the header to be
linked to the startpage.
* Tryed to add a link before the header, but that resulted in two headers if I
looked at the page with IE, and one header (not clickable) if I looked at the
page with Firefox?

* I think you need to enclose the image with a link reference

* Hi!
* Tryed that, and the result was double headers?
One of them was clickable at
least, but when I tryed to remove divs, to get rid of the not clickable header,
the whole site started to look strange…

* In my CSS file I have this:
* > #headerimg {
> background: #e7e7e7 url(‘[http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg’](http://www.piknik.se/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/logo_piknik.jpg’);)
> no-repeat bottom center; margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }
* My header.php says this:
* >
>
