 * As co-creator of this site which is still in progress my duty is to add graphics
   and images. However, I would like to know how I can add a custom background image
   into the header in this simple catch theme. Plus I would also like to know what
   the dimensions of the existing header is so that when I create the image I’ll
   get the right size. Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * The Header is made up of two sections.
 * 1. header div – Holds ‘layout-978’ (See next)
 * 2. layout-978 – Holds The logo, Search and Menu
 * The original theme [preview ](http://wp-themes.com/simple-catch/?TB_iframe=true&width=1805&height=982)
   shows that the ‘Header’ bg is a pattern.
 * It can be changed in this CSS section:
 *     ```
       #header {
       background-image: url(images/header-bg.jpg);
       border-bottom: 1px solid #dfdfdf;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can change this via either the Theme’s options or via the use of a Child 
   Theme.
 * The dimension will depend on what you want to accomplish.
 * The current header is showing as 1900 pixels (Width) by 276 pixels (Height).
 * I hope this helps.

 * Thank you.
 * After a few attempts I finally got it right because the xtra stuff before the
   url code next to the image threw me off but now I got it working. The sizing,
   however when I composed the image in photoshop turned out to actually be smaller
   and it works.
 * Thanks again for your help 🙂
