Insert GIF file into Header

  • New to WordPress. Using the Tesseract theme. I am re-making my website from an old site I put together in FrontPage. I want to insert a GIF file that is displayed on every page in the old site into the header of the new WordPress site. I’ve uploaded it to a page, and when viewed, the width/height dimensions should fit into the header, as can be seen in this link:

    I will remove the large white text in the header to fit in the GIF.

    I would like advice on how to insert the GIF, and assume it is done by inserting code into the Tesseract “header.php” file. I am pasting the code for that file below. (The code refers to two header buttons, which I don’t want, and have already removed from the header to make space.)
    Thanks,
    Roger

    Apologies for the messed-up posting. Am new at this. Didn’t realise there was a need to add code endings. I will try again, under a new posting and heading.
