 * I was able to replace the default header, but after changing the stylesheet, 
   it’s not appearing anymore.
    It also didn’t appear to fit properly. Any advice
   on fixing this up in the stylesheet? [ Here’s the site
 * Thanks!

 * The previous stylesheet probably included a background image or an image link
   for the header. When you replaced the stylesheet with…what and why?…it no longer
   has the CSS to place the image in the header. Go back to the original stylesheet
   and find where the image is being placed in the header, then copy that into the
   new stylesheet.
 * If you are running Firefox there is an add-on called Firebug that is useful for
   examining the relationship between the HTML and the CSS stylesheet.
 * If you didn’t save a backup of the original stylesheet – Get, use, and become
   familiar with the use of FTP client programs like Filezilla.
 * A very nice free HTML/CSS editor is Winsyntax.

 * Thanks for putting those bonus tips Wendel. I need to look into an editor like
   Winsyntax. I’ve been using plain text forever.

 * Winsyntax is a great little program. It’s color coded and text-tabbed, almost
   like working in the code view of Dreamweaver.
