# Header Issues

 * I have read as many of these header problems as possible and downloaded 4 different
   themes so I could recognize the code and how it works. Nonetheless, I cannot 
   get my header picture where it can be seen. I have cleared cache. I have added
   and deleted code in both the style sheet and the header .php file. I have double
   and triple check that the image is where it belongs.
 * Please help.

    The image, as it
   should be seen is at cursesandchrome.blogspot.com

 * Try the following:
    `#header {} div#headerimg { display:block; background:url(
   wp-content/themes/darkcontrast/images/Header.PNG); margin: 7px auto;  height:
   199px;  width: 739px; border:10px solid #8c0000;  }
 * It’s case sensitive, note the caps (PNG). Something is wrong with the path, though.
   images/Header.PNG should work… Still needs aligning, etc.

 * Perhaps it’s in my header file? I’m trying to put together 2 or 3 themes to suit
   my needs and I’m doing it all with only blogger template experience. I’m not 
   sure if I am missing code in the following.
 * Either way, the header image has still not appeared. Should I switch it out to
   a jpg and delete the png file? Then change all the url to go to the new pic?

 * The *.PNG is a pig (huge size) so you should convert to a .jpg.
 * I changed your style.css using the code I pasted above, and the header image 
   appeared just fine. Make sure you are clearing your cache.
 * Avoid using IE for dev/design stuff, use a Modern browser. Then use IE to check
   for it’s quirks.

 * I’ve switched out for a jpg, I use Firefox for everything, and I’ve cleared my
   cache repeatedly, basically after each and every change.
 * I am at a total loss as to what to do.
 * My file is at `http://chromedcurses.com/wp-content/themes/darkcontrast/images/
   header.jpg`
 * I am assuming that is exactly where it’s supposed to be.
 * Any other advice?

 * This works for me (deleted reference to image in #header, full path to image 
   with no quotes (not needed for local path) in #headerimg:
 * `#header {
    } div#headerimg { display:block; background:url(/wp-content/themes/
   darkcontrast/images/header.jpg); margin: 7px auto; height: 199px; width: 739px;
   border:10px solid #8c0000; }
 * I use the [Web Developer Extension](http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/)
   for Firefox. It’s very handy for tracking this stuff down.
 * If you’re still having problems, send me the ftp info from the [Contact Me](http://www.samdevol.com/contact)
   page at my website.
