• I am using the 2010 Template. The template calls for 940 x 148 photo to go in the banner. I am having a very difficult time getting a photo to fit that space. I have used a couple of online resizing sites. Still no success. I went ahead and cropped a re-sized photo and uploaded it just to see what it looks like. It came out all pixelated and looked horrible.

    What can I do to get a picture into that spot, that will look good?

    I must be a complete idiot. I see no control panel or main options prior to download. All I see is a link to start download. Might be time to abandon Word Press. This has not gone well at all.

    It might useful for you..have you try to change your function.php file by modifying that you can actually allow custom size for your banner.

    How exactly do I do that riddhishshah?

    After you install and activate Weaver, there will be a new menu item under the admin page Appearance section called 2010 Weaver. Click that, and you should see a fairly full options menu. If you go to the
    Main Options tab, there is an option several items from the top to specify the header height. Change that, then re-upload your header image from the Appearance->Header menu.

    Sorry you’re having trouble with some of the admin aspects of WordPress. Try to stick with it – there really isn’t anything better out there. Once you get the hang of it, you can pick from will over a thousand free theme right here on wp.org, and thousands elsewhere on the web. And almost always – if there is something you want to to with your site – a calendar, an photo show, a mailing list, the weather – whatever – someone else will have wanted to do the same, and you’ll be able to find a plugin to do that. WordPress is sort of the iPhone/iPod Touch of blogging software – if you want to do it, there’s an app (plugin) for that!

    BWILL you can modify your function file, check below code in your wp-content/theme/function.php

    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘twentyten_header_image_width’, 940 ) );
    define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyten_header_image_height’, 198 ) );

    check the numbers 940 and 198 where you can use your own numbers
