 * I am currently trying to add a second header.php file to my blog.
 * I have a flash file in the header.php file that I want to show on the index but
   I want a static .jpg image to show on my Pages and Posts.
 * I have done this before but I cannot for the life of me remember how!
 * I have currently tried this: <?php get_header(header2.php); ?>
    and this: <?php
   get_header(header2); ?> and this: <?php get_header(‘header2’); ?>
 * Can anyone help me?
    Thank you so much in advance

    Include non-default header
 * This example will include header-myheader.php

       <?php
       get_header('myheader');
       ?>
       ```

 * Just to clarify:
    You renamed your special header file to header-header2.php 
   You coded `<?php get_header('header2'); ?>`
 * Right?
 * And what happened?

 * Let me answer this. It just works this way. Easy enough.
