“Example of a pain in the arse about it is, trying to get it just right, via the IE and FF browser, as well as the other browsers.”

I know what you mean, already struggling here with the differences in the way IE and FF interpret .png transparencies… arrrrghhh. Why is’t IE abolished for good?

Yeah, it’s all working fine here and I hope this thread can help others to make their custom WP header the easy way. To me it was a startup to understanding better how to customize the default theme as well as to how the themes work. Thanks a lot! I’ll post the blog new header URL as soon as I get the gimp work finished here.

Hey spencer, I owe you an arm! I just tested in my sandbox the header without the title description and also with linkable image and it works just fine. Lemme buy you some beers, just be carefull driving back! Cheers ;D

Just thought of this: can i do this to align the header image?

#headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/personalheader.gif’) no-repeat center;}

I tried the personalheader.gif way you advised spencerp and it actually got my logo to appear over the header top (too hight!) – now i need to align it lower somehow. What I am actually looking for is on the latest post https://www.udigrudi.net/blog/ (just the logo in the middle, no header text except the image). Anyway I feel a lot closer to a solution – thanks a lot!

Thx for all the help guys. I tried the image merge with the kubrickheader.jpg image but (weird) after I replace with the changed file it still remains the same, no apparent change to the header. See at https://www.udigrudi.net/blog/. Probably I am missing something, guess I am a WP lamer =)
Sorry for the car dude!

Sorry spencerp, tried it out but nothing seems to change here, maybe because my personalheader image is a .png? The gradient is red too. Trying the gimp merge now…

That sounds great spencerp. Trying it out over here in a xampp sandbox. Thanks! ??

Sure spencerp, I’ll try that with udigrudi.net/blog (it’s red).

Thanks again HandySolo, I guess you mean I should merge the kubrick header image with my logo image – so I’ll try that out. I thought there would be like a place in the WP code where I could simply insert an image url instead of ‘My Blog’. But I guess I should do just as you suggest and get hands on the image editor (gimp in my case, and fuse both images) – appreciate the advice again Handy =D

Hey thanks for the response HandySolo, I have been studying the theme section but can’t figure where I need to insert the image in the WP template – just trying to make my blog header look as my tiddlywiki page at https://udigrudi.net. Anyway, my custmizing ambitions at the moment don’t go much further than using a logo inside the kubrick header ??
Any other leads are warmly welcome by this WP newcommer.
