 * Hello.
 * I’ve been having a problem which I’ve been tackling for overs without any success.
   After browsing the internet for hours, I decided that I needed help.
 * Cutting to the chase, I’m experiencing difficulties with my header. It’s acting
   all weird.
 * You can see it here : [http://whisperoflife.animeblogger.net/](http://whisperoflife.animeblogger.net/)
 * Now, I want it to the whole image to be displayed :
    [http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6383/headerav2.jpg](http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6383/headerav2.jpg)
 * Before that happened, the image was cropped for some reason.
 * And lastly as a side note, I just want to pinpoint out that I do not know anything
   concerning CSS, so I’m kind of a newb. So Please help me out!

 * I am also a newb in css, but I imagine your image is bigger than the header space
   reserved for it, and it is not automatically re-scaling. So, you could either:
   *
   resize image in photoshop *enlarge header image space – someone will tell you
   where to do that since I can’t…
 * anyway, it seems the image has not the same ratio than the header space, so you
   will probably have to resize it in photoshop an cut some borders.
 * hope this helps!

 * In your style.php file you have:
 * div#headerimg { display:block;
    background:url(/wp-content/themes/water-10/images/
   header.jpg); margin: 7px auto; **height: 199px; width: 739px; border:10px solid#
   8c0000; }
 * The height and width of the actual images is 880 x 363. That’s why it’s getting
   cut off.
 * But your site’s width is 770px. Your image is about 100 pixels too wide, so it’s
   gonna be cut off anyway, unless you widen the whole site.
 * You’re probably better off scaling it down a little bit on a graphics editor.

 * No, actually, I don’t like my WP being so small. I’d like it to be as big as 
   [http://randomc.animeblogger.net/](http://randomc.animeblogger.net/), then I 
   could fit images that would be big in nature, without any problems. Thing is 
   though that I don’t know how to increase the site in size. Any thoughts?

 * _Thing is though that I don’t know how to increase the site in size._
 * Change the numbers to the size you want.
 * div#headerimg { display:block;
    background:url(/wp-content/themes/water-10/images/
   header.jpg); margin: 7px auto; **height: 363px; width: 880px; border:10px solid#
   8c0000; }
 * If you have to change the whole site width to get the image in there, then do
   so.

 * What if I don’t have a style.php. Where would I look?

 * try style.css in your theme’s directory
 * eg.
    wp-content/themes/default/style.css
