 * I have a header I am trying to upload, but I keep getting the message “The package
   could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.” I have
   tried to go in the “edit” section and allow a taller image per the user guide,
   but that did not work.
 * Can anyone help?

 * Did you check to make sure that your theme’s folder includes a file named style.
   css?
 * And how are you uploading this header?

 * Thanks for the reply. I actually do not have a file named style.css. How should
   I go about getting one or creating one?
 * I had a .pdf file and a jpeg of my image, both of which I have tried uploading
   by first converting them to .zip files.

 * In that case, you need to review [Theme Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development).
