  • Yes you can but the exact method depends upon the theme you are using.

    i am currently using 3.0.3 but can update to 3.0.4 if necessary and am hosted by host gator if that matters

    You should be upgrading to WP 3.0.4 for security reasons but it won’t change the fact that the exact method of changing your site title to an image depends upon the theme you are using.

    i am using Urban View 1.05 by cssmayo.com but have Atmospheric Augmentation 1.1 by The Search Engine Guys, LLC and Greyzed 1.0.4 by The Forge Web Creations downloaded

    Gernally speaking, under appearance, select edit. On the right side bar, select index.php

    Look for the line of code that is in between <h1> SOme COde </h1>

    Delete the code in between the h1’s and insert the image using HTML using
    <img src ="URLtoImageYouUploaded" alt ="Site title text">

    There are literally thousands of WordPress themes – which means that many people won’t be familiar with your particular theme. So a link to your site where people can see the theme might result in more responses.

    ok, go to AirsoftAdvice.com but its noting to be impressed by haha

    Upload an image called logo.jog that is no larger 190px hight and 830px wide to your theme’s images folder. Then edit style.css and change:

    #header {
        height: 190px;
        position: relative;
    }

    to:

    #header {
        height: 190px;
        position: relative;
        background:url;(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat left top;
    }

    just one more question, how do i upload the picture to my theme’s image folder? and which format is it best to save the picture in for uploading because my program cannot save it as a .jog

    Use FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    am i uploading it to wordpress or host gator? because when i tried your code it did not work, but harmonic design’s code make my logo the picture for my first post

    If so then, it is between a <h1> and </h1>! Not sure if you added that after I told your or not though. The easiest way for you to upload an image is to just login to your wordpress site. Then on the left sidebar select media / add media. Upload the photo there, and once it’s done uploading it will show you the full URL of the image.
