Thank you, that did indeed enable me to see the image. The reason I did that was to hide the blog’s banner image. I commented it out (in HTML in header.php) instead.

Now I have an interesting problem where the image has a black border on top and bottom, though not on the sides. It shows up anywhere inside the branding div but not if I put the image in the masthead div, so I think it must have something to do with the PHP code. It’s definitely not a link and not to do with the margins of the site title.

As you suggested, I also would like to reposition the title and image slightly relative to one another, but I think the black border makes that hard to judge right now.

Thank you for your help. I have just spent a few minutes putting an image in between pretty much every element in the following chunk of code:

<div id="branding" role="banner">
				<?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?>
				<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>
id="site-title">
					<span>
						<a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
					</span>
				</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>
				<div id="site-description"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/logoberry.jpg"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div>

<?php

In all cases but one, the image didn’t show up at all. In one case, when the img tag was in between these elements:

<<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>
id="site-title">

it broke the code that displays the site title.

I know it’s a valid path to the image because I tested it in the masthead div first. To address concerns about the width of the site title, I also used a smaller pic than my working logo (a Facebook profile pic actually). Do you have any idea what could cause the image to just vanish? I am pretty sure that I didn’t screw up the code that came with the header.php on installation, because I checked it against the local files.
