# Removing title header

 * Hi – my theme displays a header image instead of a title text, because I have
   removed the title text from the “Options/General” section.
 * However, I noticed that – for example – Technorati doesn’t display a title for
   my Blog.
 * If I enter a title into “Options/General” it is displayed on top of my header
   title image, which is not what I want.
 * Can someone tell me how I can type in a title, but NOT have it display on top
   of my header image?
 * Thanks so much for your help!

 * This is what I have on one blog:
 * `<div id="header"><h1 class="bloginfo"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home');?
   >"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>&nbsp;</a></h1>` in the header.php file.
 * And this in style.css:
 * `#header h1 {
    margin:0; padding:0; position:absolute; font-size:0; left:-2000px;}
 * That should still get your title showing in Technorati (though I don’t do them
   so don’t know for sure).
 * Alternatively, you can simply style the header h1 as display:none; which should
   accomplish the same thing I think (unless for some reason it doesn’t get picked
   up in the source display).

 * vkaryl: so how does someone click on that link in your header? You haven’t given
   a width or height to the link and you’ve zoomed the text off the screen. Do you
   mean for your visitors to make use of the link up there? Just curious.
 * clan55: I stumbled across this last night and thought it a good explanation of
   how to do this. I knew it would come in sooner or later and here we are:

 * Yep, the “display: none;” works, thanks! Will see how Technorati picks it up (
   or not).
 * Cheers!

 * tsguitar – no, the header graphic itself is a link. The h1 info is simply there
   to provide a “hook” for entities which expect to find an h1.

 * Got it. So you have a different styling for `#header h1 a`, then?

 * Yes. Sometimes the header a surrounds a separate logo graphic, sometimes the 
   whole header graphic; depends on the design.
