General Options Section?!

I am using the connections template and replaced there header with my own, which has my store name and tagline across the header….. now, when I am in the wordpress admin under general options and it asks me for my blog name and tagline…. if I fill that out, it displays across my header, which already has the blog name and tagline in it… how can I enter the blog name and tagline and NOT have it display again on the site???

Thanks in advance!!!
