 * 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

 * Thanks so much for the info. I will try to do this later and let you know if 
   it works. Again, thanks.
