 * First off, I don’t know much. But, I have been able to change that in some themes.
   The main thing is that your image size (width and height) has to be the same 
   size as the header. If the current header has a picture already, I like to open
   that in my photoimpact and check out the actual dimensions. Then I open a new
   file with the same size and go at it.
 * Other thing is that I have had trouble displaying the images and couldn’t figure
   out why, like you did. I would put them under wp-content/themes/themename/images
   and under wp-images. Neither would work on the day I made the change. Then the
   next day, or login from a different pc would change it and display fine. You 
   can try clearing your cache and/or waiting a day or so before giving up completely.
 * Also the proper way to put them in CSS (I think, but it works for me) is:
 * background:url([http://whatever.whatever.jpg](http://whatever.whatever.jpg)) 
   no-repeat top left;
 * or
 * background:url(/images/whatever.jpg) no-repeat top left;

 * No I have not resolved the issue. I had read finding your css styles. This is
   how I was able to find the div by changing the text-transform to lowercase from
   uppercase. I can also change the text color on that div and it changes the correct
   text on the menu. Only thing is that putting a text-align on that same div doesn’t
   change the alignment. Which I find very strange indeed.
 * I tried copying the styles from another theme into this one and changing the 
   sidebar.php to reflect the css name changes but that just got me a bunch of parse
   errors. So I had to change it back to it’s original css.
 * I don’t want to reinvent the wheel, specially since I don’t know much about the
   wheel in the first place. I can’t seem to find understandable intructions anywhere
   on the web. I was hoping someone here might have come across this before and 
   might be able to help or offer some suggestions. If no one can, I’ll have to 
   keep pluging away on my own until I figure it out…. someday….before I go senile…
   before I get old and die…. 🙁

 * My bad, sorry. I thought perhaps someone had encountered the same issue before
   and might be able to pinpoint the problem quickly by looking at the code. I’ll
   refrain from posting stupid questions in the future.

 * Never mind I think the problem was somehow with the theme itself. I downloaded
   another theme from Dilip and that one works like a charm.
