Hmm… Found Headway. Going with that 8)

In reply to: [Origin] try to make header/logo size bigger@youareoncrack – yes, it’s working fine for me now.
@everyone else – I’m just giving up on themes that don’t do what I want and going with Headway. I’ve barely started using it but so far it has been a dream to use. Incredibly well executed. The tradeoff of being able to tweak everything to get what you want is that you have to tweak everything to get what you want. But to me it’s worth it.
I’ll look into the child themes more. It sounds like, if there is an answer, it would be doing something like that.
Thanks!
Well, when I watch/read stuff on what’s supposed to be in the header.php it doesn’t look like what’s in my header.php – I can’t find any reference to my site title or tagline, or at least anything that I can make changes to have have those changes reflected on my site. I was really hoping the suggestion by EnglishMike would work, but alas…
When I use Firebug and click on my site title and tagline elements it shows me (or at least I think it does, again, I’m not supper savvy here) that those elements (#site-description) are described in style.min.css. What I’d really like to do is just see where the html is for those elements so I can edit them directly. But when I search this forum on editing html, the answers are very evasive. “Why do you want to do that?” “Couldn’t you just… instead?”
I’d love to even just know what application I should be using so I can see and edit what I want. I can see things in Firebug that I can’t see in either Komodo or Astana – like the actual text for example. I can see it in Firebug but not in other programs.
I really don’t like the way it looks with my site title displayed. What I’ll probably do is enter it in WP so it’s in the code for SEO, but replace it with a white image so it’s not actually visible (or a logo when I get around to making one).

I’m just building my site and I hadn’t yet made any links in the nav bar. Now that I have, what I realized is that the nav bar is right beside the header image. If the header image is bigger, it infringes on the nav bar’s territory.
My main issue that prompted me to look into a banner was that 1) site title wrapped if I put in the text. 2) replacing the text with an image of the words so that they were all on one line made the words too small.
I’ve now fixed that by putting my site title in the tagline box. I added html code right in the tagline itself which was actually recognized (sweet) to get the title in bold and put in a line break.
This is exactly what’s in my tagline box (under “Site Title and Tagline”) in the “Customize” screen:

I know this doesn’t address the issue of a banner image, but hopefully it gives people an alternative.
