 * Hey, so I am brand new to wordpress.org, and I am having some serious trouble
   working in my header. After fidgeting with some of the code for a bit I got the
   top padding to extend a bit, but the image isn’t showing up. I found this template
   in the templates section and I really like the way it looks, I just wanted to
   put in my own header. So here is my header image [http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/Calalily217/cloudbanner3.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/Calalily217/cloudbanner3.jpg)
 * and here is the stylesheet. i could ask a few people i know to fix it but i really
   want to try it on my own, so if you could point me in the right direction i’d
   appreciate it. i just learned photoshop this weekend to make that banner so i
   really want to see it up already lol. thanks!
 * oh and do you also know how can i take off the excerpt option? oh sorry, the 
   blog in question is at [http://www.siliconcalley.com](http://www.siliconcalley.com).
   thanks!
