Thanks RVoodoo and Sarah for your encouraging help! I finally found the answer deeper in the style.css sheet – another reference to #headerimg (I had been looking before in the header-img.php) and I substituted “transparent” for the color #73a0c5 that was there before. Page finally looks right:

I tried to get into the style sheet for the wordpress.com blog to see if I could copy that, but it was far beyond my capabilities. Since that code refers to objects and docs that are hosted by wordpress.com, not located on my website’s server, it is all the more difficult to figure out what is relevant.

no change ??

Strange. I tried that earlier today but it just made my header image disappear (or be covered). Trying it now (after I have fiddled with a few lines of code here and there) it does exactly nothing.

The article you referenced said “your headerimg bg color should be “none” so that it’s transparent and allows your header to be seen.”

However, I cannot find any code that is labeled bgcolor or bg color for the headerimg
in the header-img.php.

Thanks, found those now… Still don’t have solution to ridding theme only of that one blue header background. It is especially frustrating deep into day 2 of this task that all it required to do that on the wordpress.com interface was one click in the “custom header” option!

Thanks! Found header.php … but editing it as suggested in the article above also removed the other theme design elements which I wanted to keep. If you compare the two otherwise identical blogs, you can see the one difference – that annoying 3-sided blue border, behind my title graphic, which I can’t seem to remove.
