 * Hi,
 * Not sure if anyone is still active here, but I am trying to change the default
   header.
 * When I go to the appearances section of my wordpress dashboard, I cannot seem
   to find the “Header” section.
 * Just wondering if anyone can help me out here.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * That page you are looking at is on WordPress.COM – themes are not always the 
   same between .COM and .ORG versions. I just looked at that theme on a test .ORG
   site and no header. It’s possible that you could add one – either using CSS or
   modifying the header.php file. You’d need to use a Child Theme to make those 
   kinds of changes though.

 * Your header image is located at `http://www.<your-domain>.xxx/wp-content/themes/
   fanwood/images/bg-header.png` if you have installed it in the root. The dimension
   of the image is 920×216.
 * Simple make the new header and replace this file with the image you want with
   the same file name.
