 * Just give your new image the same name as the current one and replace the old
   one with the new one in the same directory. If the new image is a different size
   than the original image, you’ll have to make an adjstment in the CSS file under
   the “header” category.

 * Hi
 * Need help please.
 * My new blog is at:
 * [http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/](http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/)
 * I have tried to replace the current header with the header at:
 * [http://crazyaboutwesties.com](http://crazyaboutwesties.com).
 * As you can see the header at:
 * [http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/](http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/)
 * does not look right.
 * Can you tell me what I have done wrong and how I can fix this.

 * Since your original header image is defined in the style.css file (llok for #
   header) – you replace it there. And after that delete the code you added to the
   header.php.

 * Hi Moshu
 * Thank you for replying. It is very much appreciated.
 * I went to the style.css file and in the header I have:
 * #header {
    margin: 0; padding: 20px 0 0 1em; border-bottom: 1px solid #ebebeb;
   background: #fff url(img/header.jpg) no-repeat top; height:60px;
 * What do I replace and with what?
 * My image path is:
 * [http://www.crazyaboutwesties.com/templates/myfirsttemplate/images/header.jpg](http://www.crazyaboutwesties.com/templates/myfirsttemplate/images/header.jpg)
 * Look forward to your valued reply

 * 1. WP doesn’t recognize /templates/myfirsttemplate and stuff like that!
    2. Your
   theme’s header is here: [http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/wp-content/themes/ShadedGrey/img/header.jpg](http://crazyaboutwesties.com/westieblog/wp-content/themes/ShadedGrey/img/header.jpg)
   Which means you either a) replace that image with yours b) name yours something
   else (e.g. my-fantastic.header.jpg) and in the stylesheet you put: `background:#
   fff url(img/my-fantastic-header.jpg) no-repeat top;` 3. Of course, you should
   upload your picture exactly in the same location where the original is/was.

 * IN the stylesheet to the
    `#header h1 {...}` portion add this line: display: 
   none;

 * Hi Moshu
 * Just to clarify:
 * Do I add it as follows:
 * #header h1 { display: none;
    margin: 0; font-size: 1.4em; color: #333; word-spacing:
   1px; }
 * Thank you again for all your help

 * It’s fine any way, as long as it’s inside the {..}.
 * BTW, do not copy text into your blog (especially using the wysiwyg monster) from
   other applications that have line breaks. It looks ugly 🙁
