First time adding images and tweaking a theme

The word Travel Blog is being set in yr General settings in admin

two equal horizontal bands of white (top) and light blue with the national coat of arms

Thanks for the prompt reply, but I don’t think this is the cause of why my blog has “Travel Blog” in red letters in the top left of the page. I’ve checked the settings and the Site Title is “My Adventures” and the tag line is “Personal Blog”.

Hopefully I don’t need to find an alternative template.

Anyone got any ideas about this problem? Could really use some assistance in getting this up and running….well working properly.

When loading your site in firefox, and inspecting it with firebug, I find the following defined in the styleheets for the site:

#header h1 a {
    background: url("images/logo.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    display: block;
    height: 55px;
    margin-top: 10px;
    outline: medium none;
    padding: 5px 0 0;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    width: 400px;
}

so I guess if you find that css file (possibly style.css) you can either remove the background style, or you might want to create your own logo.png file and copy it to your site.
I am not familiar with this theme, so I can not give you more specific details. The theme might have a User CSS setting or something that you an use to override the default values.

Oldis,

Thanks for the very helpful post. I located the relevant piece of code and have made the change to remove it. Will add my own image in due course.

As a result of your info I was also then able to think differently about the thumbnail and imaging issue and have now resolved that also, so ALL my issues are now resolved.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the update, always good to hear back when things are sorted. Maybe you could mark the topic as resolved as well, by using the menu in the right side of the screen. That way it stands out from the other posts in the list.

One little suggestion:
If you create tour own logo image, you might want to check filesize for the file in JPEG-format as opposed to PNG-format. If you use images, the file might get a better compression in JPEG. If so, you could change the stylesheet to reflect logo.jpg instead of logo.png, and thus shave of a little loading-time for your site…..

Oldis..

Thanks for the tip Oldis. First time using WordPress, but not first time publishing, but useful info for those not familiar with headers/banner images at all.

I’ll mark this post as resolved as per your recommendation which seems to be the normal thing on this forum.

Thanks again for all the help and timely advice, it’s much appreciated.
