 * Hi all, hopefully someone can help me.
 * I decided to use the default theme for a blog I created. The only things I did
   to it were to change the header by uploading another image and change the background
   and text colours in the style.css.
 * I have uploaded it to my site, however I get the following error:
 * Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/vhosts/advice.6te.net/default/
   index.php on line 1
 * I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. If someone could clearly explain a way to 
   figure out the problem (or better yet what to do to fix it directly) I’d much
   appreciate it.
 * Oh and I ran the html through a validator and it says that the attribute role
   is not an attribute and asks if I meant frameborder or scrolling. Just thought
   this was worth a mention as it’s line after the get header function.
 * Many thanks.

 * just re upload the theme file(s) you changed
    with the default theme can’t you
   do what you want in the dasboard under the “Appearance” tab? The Kubrick header
   options

 * The theme seems to work fine under localhost – the problem occurs when I upload
   it to the host site. I’ve already reuploaded it 3 times and still get the same
   problem. I thought about changing it in the appearance settings but I wasn’t 
   sure that would change it when I then uploaded it to my host site.
 * Perhaps I’m uploading it wrong? (total newbie sorry). I assumed that by uploading
   all the files (php, css, db) and images I have to the host site, it would (theoretically)
   be the same as how it appears in localhost?? All the files are in root of the
   host site, they don’t need a special file name etc. to work for this host.
 * Hope that sheds some light. Thanks for replying Samboll.
