# Replace header.php with header.html

 * I have spent many hours trying to change header.php to achieve the look I want.
   This includes deleting the blog functions, deleting the search function, and 
   adding a rollover image aligned with the title. It is still not done; the rollover
   doesn’t align with the title and a spurious “Submit Query” remains.
 * I would like to create a simple html page with the rollover image, title and 
   banner image. No php It would link with my style.css file
 * How can get my child theme to look for header.html instead of header.php?

 * Thanks

 * Why not just rename header.html to header.php and use that? The files contents
   will work the same way.

 * Michael,

    I have started
   over.
