 * I know this has been covored a lot! But I can’t get it to work! I’m trying to
   replace the header in the default wordpress theme (kubrick) with a custom graphic.
   I tried overwriting the kubrickheader.jpg with a file with the same name containing
   mygraphic but nothing at all chamged on mywebsite. [Rise Web Design](http://risewebdesign.com)
   Howdoes one replace the header with a custom graphic. Is there something small
   I am missing?

 * You simply create a jpg of the exact same size (760 x 200 pixels) and name it
   kubrickheader.jpg It drops into the images folder within the default theme folder
   of your blog site. I see you set up wordpress ok. Now just FTP to the image folder
   and drop the new jpg in.
    Since the header had a full image, this was easy. It
   was adding an image to a header that had none that was my challenge…… Joe

 * Riseassist – I see your site now has the new image. Congratulations! Good to 
   see that HandySolo’s or my advice helped someone.
