 * I used a an image file to be uploaded as a header and after adding the text header,
   this is how my site looks now.
    [URL=http://img692.imageshack.us/i/imgha.jpg/][
   IMG]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4830/imgha.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] As you can
   see the header text has over-rided my header image,I want the header text to 
   be hidden but accessible by search engines,etc.
 * I referred this link from wordpress-
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers](http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers)
   and did exactly what it stated to hide the text from the header of my wordpress
   website.edited the h1 part of the style.css but the image of my website given
   above reflects after making all the changes.I googled the problem and all the
   other sites gave hi-end css code to replace or edit and I couldn’t follow them
   as I’m not a techy. I’m trying to resolve this and its been three days that I
   wasted behind it and with my frustration growing….Can anyone please baby step
   me the process to hide the header text so that it doesn’t spoil my image?

 * You’re hiding text from all of us, too. Something like this will work:
 *     ```
       h1.blogtitle {
       position:absolute;
       top:-5000px;
       left:-5000px;
       }
       ```

 * i don’t know why display:none worked when i opened my site in firefox but in 
   opera the text overlapped the header image.but this code works fine with all 
   browsers (i checked it with IE,opera and firefox).
