* Hey,
I’m trying to get the “personalheader.jpg” to work it says this under the
header.php
* /* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a
way,
that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /
images/ directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above
that will get cropped off of the image. */
* I have put my header image under the folder and named it accordingly, I’m jsut
working on creating the site so I’m hoping I can get this issuse resolved fairly
quickly my sites address is at
[http://ncf.gordiehannan.com/](http://ncf.gordiehannan.com/)
and the header image is at [http://ncf.gordiehannan.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/](http://ncf.gordiehannan.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/)
then click on personalheader.jpg
* any help would be greatly appreciated

* In header.php is this little chunk of code:
`
* Delete it.
Your image should then appear. And so will the name of your blog
just where you do not want it. To beat that, but this at th bottom of your css
file:
* #header h1 {
text-indent:-100em; }
* It must go at the bottom though.
* That should sort it all ?

* I’m stuck with this problem as well. I use a Mac and usually edit all my files
via my ftp program, Transmit. When I try to edit the header file I get this message:
*
* This is not a lot of help. How do I create the required code file and where do
I upload it too?
* Why is it so difficult to change the header – it sounds simple enough in the
instructions, until you actually try to go in and make what at first glance,
appears to be an easy edit. Why are the files not editable?
* Can anyone help? I see that others have a personal header on their blog, and
I’d love to have one too.
* Feeling somewhat desperate here!
* Edited to add – WordPress is part of my Fantastico control panel at through my
webhost – the files are already uploaded on the server but I can’t edit them.
Send help!

* I’d suggest you go look over the absolute plethora of other themes available
at [http://themes.wordpress.org/](http://themes.wordpress.org/), 99% of which
are easier to customize than the default.
* Pick one that’s laid out like you want, that’s got colors you like, install and
go from there.
