 * Go into your .CSS and find the header declaration, take that out. Then go to 
   your page and see if it’s fixed. If it’s not, go to your index.php and take out
   the div class=header, unless of course you are using that to call in your banner.

 * goto your CSS and find the #header div and add in:
    display: hidden; enjoy 🙂

 * Doesn’t look like you have it working. One thing I noticed is that you have a
   lot of things before your <head> tag. You should only have <html> <head> then
   put in the script stuff. It’s showing an error because of the way you have the
   html set up.

 * slimeboy,
    Check out [the Wiki PlayPen](http://wiki.wordpress.org/index.php/PlayPen#slimeboy)
   for some help with your page. You have some issues to resolve before tackling
   the CSS problem. I have posted a bit of code to show you how your xhtml should
   look. Once you have made that change, come back here and post any more problems.
   We can keep adding to your PlayPen entry until you have solved your problem. 
   Craig.

 * slimeboy,
    I’m an idiot. You still need something there for the background file…
   I have put another “solution” up on the Wiki. Basically just build a DIV instead
   of using the H1. You’ll see in the Wiki what I mean. I *think* you can define
   an “empty” DIV like that, because you are inserting stuff via the CSS. Give it
   a try and let us know! Craig.

 * Bingo! That works, now all i need to do is edit the image size so the image shows
   up in full.
    Thank you
