    I am a total wordpress newbie and helping a friend with her blog.
    I’ve updated the header but can’t seem to figure out how to increase the header size, have tried in style.css but to no avail. I also want to decrease the “search” box, which I realize is perhaps a background image incorporate in the theme, which is tofurious.

    here is the blog address: http://www.hillarymaybery.com/blog/

    any help would be much appreciated!
    thnx

    The them on your site doesn’t have any header dimensions set within the stylesheet. Which means that it will expand to enclose whatever is inside it. If you want to make it deeper or wider, you’ll need to set up specific dimensions in the stylesheet.

    as for the search box, edit style.css and delete:

    .holder ul li.search span {
background:url("images/search.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
display:block;
height:33px;
padding:6px 8px 0;
width:171px;
}

    then delete border:none; from:

    .holder ul li.search span input {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border:none;
width:171px;
}

    your header do not have any container such as <div>header</div> thus cant increase or decrease it. Put them in a <div id=’header’></div> than you can control it within css using #header{height:200px;} for example.

    Thanks for the info. I tried what you stated about the search box. I am still trying to figure out what you mean for the resizing of the header.
    For example, could you explain more about “Put them in a <div id=’header’></div> than you can control it within css using #header{height:200px;} for example.”?

    thanks!
