    This has caused me a lot of headaches. I have two sites, both of which I want to publish in wordpress.org with a new photo header in a wordpress theme. I was able to change the photo header in both wordpress.com sites, but I have not been successful in uploading the new photos to the sites in wordpress.org. The theme uploads fine, but it is minus the new photo. I have tried uploaded the zip folder and then unarchived it, but no photo. Then I replaced the jpg file from the theme with my jpg file and replaced the code in style. Still no luck. Can someone help, please? Thanks.

    There are at least two ways to add the header image in your layout based on your site’s source code and CSS:
    1) via HTML – but there is no image URL called there

    <div id="headerimg">
<h1><a href="http://tastytidbitz.com/">Tasty Tidbitz</a></h1>
<div class="description"></div>
</div>

    and
    2) if you were going to place the image in the background, there is no #headerimg style info like { background: url(images/nameofimage.jpg) center top repeat-once } at all in your style.css
