 * I’m trying to add a header image to my blog and it’s telling me to upload the
   image under /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/
 * 1. I don’t know how/where to upload files
    2. I downloaded filezilla (if that’s
   how I upload files) except it doesn’t connect to my server and just says “empty
   directory listing”
 * I don’t know what to do :/

 * What version of Atahualpa are you using?
 * In the latest version at least, it gives you detailed instructions on how to 
   upload a header image without FTP. Check under Appearance > Atahualpa Theme Options.

 * Under the theme options, it says:
 * All header images are located in /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/.
   All images in that directory will be rotated. If you don’t want rotating header
   images, leave only one image in that directory….
 * ^How do I access/upload to that directory?

 * Ok, so I uploaded the image in my directory. How do I activate it as my homepage
   image?
