With the New domain name you may try a redirect index file in the other /blog directory to auto re-direct visitors without clicking on a link.

Assuming you have not messed with the pointers to the original header.

After you replace the header graphic file

Log into your blog.

Try:

Dashboard / Design / Header Image Color
then choose Update button on bottom

Just upload the one snoopy file, and leave your version.php alone.

Whooami

Thank you for your interest and advice.

are you saying that you put the 2 snoopy files (the changed files for 2.6.3) into a 2.6.0 install, not a 2.6.2, or a 2.6.1 install?
YES

I have not followed the upgrade path from 2.6 to 2.6.2 – this was intended to be a intermediate upgrade until 2.7. If you feel that it will not work and a full upgrade to 2.6.3 would be required to update the Snoopy files then I will heed your advice.

A simplistic approach to redirecting to a different landing page would be to use a .htaccess file in the root of your website. The .htaccess file would contain the redirect command. Sample below.

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

DirectoryIndex xxx.html

The xxx.html is the page you want to be your new landing page. The file extension may also be .php

Best luck to your search for a solution.

You may try including an .htaccess file in the root directory of your blog containing the following:

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
deny from xx.xxx.xx
deny from xx.xxx.xxx
allow from all
</Limit>

The first statement <Files .htaccess> denies viewing access to the file itself.
The second grouping of statements <Limit GET POST> is where you limit access to specific IP addresses (represented by xx). By not including the last digits (octets) of the IP address, you exclude a wider range from that IP address family. The less octets, the greater range of exclusion.
More information on the internet can be found on formatting an .htaccess file.

I am having a little ‘cognitive dissonance’ with the color scheme. If you like Yellow/Orange – it Works! Even though Yellow is a favorite color of mine, I found myself not wanting to stay on the site too long. The color scheme became a bit overwhelming. My suggestion is to try a Cream color for the surround and keep the Yellow center – maybe a lighter shade of Yellow – assuming that you like light colors. You may want to bump up the size on the font.
