Hello lcynets, can I ask you a question?

As a novice in learning wordpress, I’m struggling to learn wordpress, using Bluehost as my host.

So far I’ve managed to make the beginning of my homepage/blog using the “Twenty Sixteen” theme – great and satisfying to see the site grow …

But now I’ve run into a problem. I want to change the size of the header image from 1200 x 280 to 1200 x 180 to minimize the white space around the header image.

Reading about Designing Headers in the WordPress Handbook, I’m informed:

To change only the header image reference, open the header.php template file and look for the styles like this:
#header {
  background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/wc_header.jpg”) 
  no-repeat bottom center; }
#headerimg  {
  margin: 7px 9px 0; 
  height: 192px; 
  width: 740px; }

I guess, that’s all the information I need, however where do I find this code, I have to change?
As far as I can see, the Dashboard hasn’t got any link to the background code stuff.

Knowing, that the question might be so fundamental, nevertheless I hope, someone can help me ?

Best regards & thanks for your time 🙂
