 * If you make it transparent or delete it, it is going to affect the bottom white
   content area of your page as well.
 * Your main content area has a white background. This is what you see both at the
   top above your image AND at the bottom in your content area.
 * Sooo, instead of altering the color, let’s instead just move everything up and
   reduce the margin at the top of the page.
 * Insert this into your stylesheet at the very bottom:
 *     ```
       #branding img {
           margin-top: -108px;
       }
       ```

 * Hi Josh. I tryed that now. Well… not really what i had in mind, but now its gone
   alright.
 * I wanted to remove it, to make a much bigger header image, so i end up with a
   half circle (my logo) and the white content of the website under it.
 * Now i have more or less a cut circle, hope you understand hehe. 😛
    So i guess
   i need a place where i can change the hight of the photo?

 * Well, your current image is 288 x 1000 px.
 * You should be able to use a “taller” image, say 388 x 1000 px, and the spacing
   should adjust automatically.

 * okey, eventho the upload function says max 288×1000 px? is this just written 
   because of the way the theme worked when i got it ?

 * Well, your theme might have an autocrop feature. But these can almost always 
   be over-written using css. Go ahead and try uploading the larger image, and I’ll
   check if it autocrops.

 * Hmm doesnt work… once i try to upload the new and “taller image” the uploader
   wants me to pick what area of 288×1000 px i want to show of the logo.. so it 
   must be limited to that size somewhere in the css i guess?

 * Do you have FTP?
 * Go to this location and manually replace the header image with your new one.

 * You’re welcome. Congratulations!
 * I gotta admit, I like the header. I really like the paint splatter effect and
   colors.

 * I actually had exactly the same thing in mind 😉
 * Just something simple… don’t put too much time into it.
 * I have a plugin I’d like to make some banners and buttons for.
 * The mods will probably erase your email from here, but I’m sending you one now.
 * Thanks again!
