 * Hi All,
 * I’d appreciate some help finding the header dimensions in the CSS. This theme
   has limited my header dimensions to 500×52 and auto-crops my image. I’d like 
   to make the new dimensions 1265×110 so that I can fill the entire header bar 
   with a landscape image.
 * Thanks so much in advance!

 * Wow, that’s really strange that the theme would crop the image so small.
 * So, what you can do is instead of having a header image is to set the background
   of the site-name container by adding a CSS rule:
 *     ```
       #header #site-name {
          background: url('http://visioncod.com/testing/wp-content/uploads/header-image.jpg');
          background-size: cover;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change the **url** value to a location where you’ve uploaded a header image. 
   The only problem with this technique is that the image won’t be responsive, i.
   e., it won’t shrink in size to different viewport settings, but it looks like
   the theme isn’t responsive anyway, so it probably doesn’t matter.

 * You are the greatest! This worked perfectly, and my header looks much better.
