 * Coming from WordPress.com to WordPress.org was an experience! One of the things
   I can’t find is “Custom Image Header” on the Sapphire Theme now that I am hosting
   my own. It used to be in the Free WordPress account. What can I do to customize
   my won header. I know nothing of CSS or HTML..
 * Thanks
    Jim

 * If you mean to just replace an image in your header, do a simple replacement –
   it’s easy enough.
 * For example: if the current header image is named “header.gif”, then make an 
   image that you want, keep the same size of the current one, and name it “header.
   gif”. Upload to your server and overwrite the current header file. The new one
   will simply take the place of the old one.
 * That’s the easiest way to do it.

 * JGatos, I’ve been looking for the same thing, (only for the Rubric theme). Unfortunately
   I think the answer right now is “no”. They probably haven’t created a distributable
   plugin, as they just recently got it working. I wish we could find a more definitive
   statement on it, of course, but it is a brand new (and very nice) feature for
   wp.com.
    If you do find anything, let me know. If not, maybe I’ll create a plugin
   to do the same thing, since it’s on the to-do list for my theme. 😀

 * i have the same problem…it is ridiculous that they haven’t come out with a plugin
   for this…such a simple, yet necessary feature. it’s a shame nothign is available…
