 * I looked at the page that tells me how to add a banner to the header, and did
   it.
 * So instead of `#header {
    background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’);?
   >/images/wc_header.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; } #headerimg { margin: 7px 
   9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px; }`
 *     ```
       I have #header {
               background: url(\"<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/LOST_IN_PA/airplane3-5.jpg\")no-repeat bottom center;
               }
       #headerimg  {
         margin: 7px 9px 0;
         height: 192px;
         width: 740px; }
       ```
   
 * yet nothing as changed. Whats wrong?

 * Try doing this:
 *     ```
       #header {
               background: url(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/LOST_IN_PA/airplane3-5.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
               }
       ```
   
 * Your image is stored on photobucket and not in your theme folder, so you don’t
   need to add the `<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>` bit.

 * Side question: Will photobucket allow hot-linking like that?

 * Is there any reason not to store it on the hosting machine? Surely that would
   load quicker than an image on photobucket?

 * I uploaded the image to my site, and put that in, but it still won’t work.

 * You appear to have added a \ in there. Could that be upsetting it?

 * (the silly forum software here probably added that \ in front of the double-quotes.
