 * Hi. Thanks for much for this simple and elegant plug-in.
 * I got it to work great on the Twenty Eleven theme that comes with WordPress but
   if I try it with any of the themes I’m actually using I get a “this theme does
   not support custom headers” message.
 * I contacted the creator of our themes, but thought you might also have a suggestion
   on what we need to do to allow us to use your plug-in.
 * Thanks much, Jan

 * I added the content below (from the 2nd example in the document (load multiple
   headers) to the end of the functions.php file. I tried it inside and outside 
   certain bracket marks but I either got error messages or the text appeared in
   the header of our site.
 * I think custom headers theme support may be already enabled somehow in my theme.
   I’m going to wait to hear from authors of the theme.
