 * I am having trouble replacing the header image in the default theme. I am not
   finding the area in the page to replace #headerimg {background: url..etc..}
 * I have tried changing the header image in the style sheet, but it won’t let me.
   I am wondering if that is because the image I am replacing it with is 800px; 
   wide?
 * I would like to know exactly where do I change the header image?
 * Thanks;
    Scott

 * You can replace the header image in header.php, but I’m wondering whether you’ve
   actually uploaded it?
