 * Hello
 * I’ve update to twenty thirteen, but would like to scale back the massive headers(
   my site’s at deardot.com)
    Any one know the best way to control my header sizes
   please?

 * Just want to add another method to this post, and others if looking:
 * 1.
    In Appearance>Header Select “Remove Header” 2. In Appearance>Editor Select
   template Header (header.php) 3. Add something like this: `<div class="site-add-
   header"><img class="header-img" src="wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Logo_header1.
   png" alt="muesli 101 logo"></div>` Click “Update File” 4. Now select to Edit 
   Stylesheet (style.css) Do a CTRL-F (Find) “site-header” 5. Remove
 *     ```
       .site-header {
       	background-image: .....;
       }
       ```
   
 * Add
 *     ```
       .site-add-header {
       text-align:center;
       }
       .header-img {
       width:80%;
       }
       ```
   
 * You now have a scalable image based site-header for the theme Twenty Thirteen.

 * cclambie could you explain what exactly that code does? Does it basically allow
   you to set the header image width using a percentage rather than pixel count 
   through esmi’s solution?

 * I completed all of esmi’s steps successfully, now I’m trying to upload a 2000
   ×784 image as the header to see how it would look, but I’m finding when I upload
   it through the Header page it seems to be overriding the min-height setting of
   784 px that I entered on style.css of the child theme.

 * Do I need to bypass the Header interface and insert the image directly through
   the non-child style.css?
