That’s what I figured, since a wordpress theme is basically made up of php…

thanks

The first thing is to open up your images file from the theme you plan to use ( you can do this on on your hard drive) open the images folder and take a look at all the images and note what they are called…Usually the header image will be called “header”jpg, gif, png , but it could also have another name like “logo” lets assume it is called “header.jpg

You will instantly recognize the header image unless the header in the site is set as a bg image(back ground)…If it is set to bg,Then most likely it will look like a little strip of color in gif format..ex.( 2 x 40px )

Lets assume that it is an actual 800x 200 jpg. ( could be any size ).. go back to your dashboard in WP and select Appearance , then editor…once you click on editor , you will look for the css stylesheet, open up the css styles.php inside the css code you will look for header.jpg

lets assume that you already have another header image called header2.jpg…you will first ftp that image to the images folder on the server…once that’s done, all you have to do is go back to the css styles.php and re name the header in the code to header2.jpg

Your new header will appear after a re-fresh….(f5)

however you still need to remove the blog title and description text…( you may keep them if your header design allows a space for the text to show if you like)

If you want to remove the blog title and description you will have to open up header.php…this will be found on the same page as the styles.php

then look for something like this ..(exact codes may vary)
<div id=”header_left”>
<h1>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>
</div>

just cut out the code in bold and save ..and the text will disappear

hope this helps….
