Header Image/Style Problem With Child Theme

    Hello all,

    I am creating a WP blog to go along with my existing website. As such, I am customizing the TwentyEleven theme so that I can get a close approximation to the CSS stylesheet my site uses.

    I’ve had mostly luck so far, using a child theme and tweaking style.css, but one thing vexes me. My original site references a BG header image in its CSS file, then each original HTML webpage references the images which go on top (which serve as orientation buttons for the site). You can see the original site here.

    My problem seems to be a lack of understanding of how the header image (and header in general) is controlled in order for me to create a lookalike (or something close enough).

    There is, of course, the Header option in the main theme options. But this only allows me to upload a single image – it’s a little too basic for what I’m looking for. Alternately, if I create a child of the TwentyEleven header.php, it’s just too complex for me to understand if that’s even the right file for me to be fooling with.

    Any ideas where I should start?

    Thanks.

    Yes, the header.php file is where the header section of the page is generated. If you want to get into modifying it, you can start with

    Alternatively, put those links to pages in the horizontal menu — rather than images in the header.

    Thanks @wpyogi. Just out of curiosity, is there a template file for tweaking the horizontal menu, or is it tweaked in style.css?
