 * Hi Larry,
 * Can you clarify whether you mean the height of the logo or the height of the 
   background header image?
 * Can you post a link to your site so we can take a look?

 * Hi Gary,
    I do not have the logo option, which was part of what I was referring
   to in my previous question that you answered, regarding using Jet Pack. In the
   customizing menu, it’s just referred to as the Header Image, not background image.
   I did find a css code that made the header height larger. It was my way of getting
   around the no logo option by creating my logo, if you will, in the header image.
   I’m not sure you can see my site. It’s brand new and in the process of being 
   switched from godaddy to HostGator with free wordpress platform. I’m using a 
   view host plugin in Chrome to capture it, to experiment a bit while I’m waiting
   for change over to complete.

 * If [Jetpack is installed](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/) as advised 
   in the [other thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sela-theme-different-in-hostgator/),
   the site logo feature becomes available in Appearance > Customize > Site Title,
   Tagline, and Logo.

 * I’m not able to install jetpack, I’m getting failure to connect error. Could 
   be because I’m using view host extension

 * If you’re talking about the area where the site title goes, you can increase 
   it by adding this to your Additional CSS:
 * `.site-branding {min-height: 300px;}`
 * Of course, you’d set the height as you like it. Hope that helps.
 * As for Jetpack, your host may be blocking the connection. You can head over to
   jetpack.com/debug for more info. Good luck!

 * Thanks..your css code worked!!
 * i ran debug and it returned:
 * XML-RPC is not responding correctly ( 404 )
 * It looks like XML-RPC is not responding correctly. Please make sure XML-RPC is
   turned on for your site and is set up to respond to all content types. You can
   test this yourself by running the following command from the command line:
 *  curl -A ‘Jetpack by WordPress.com’ -d ‘<methodCall><methodName>demo.sayHello
   </methodName></methodCall>’ [http://www.larrykutcher.com/xmlrpc.php](http://www.larrykutcher.com/xmlrpc.php)
 * The answer should be:
 *  <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value
   > <string>Hello!</string> </value> </param> </params> </methodResponse>
