    So I decided to use the free ‘Cubic’ template (thanks to the creators, it’s a great look) but have been struggling with a few things for my blog; readersplayground.wordpress.com
    I can insert a logo, but not a full illustrated header for some reason, which is what I want to do. Also I can’t seem to figure out how to change the background from its charcoal grey to an image or an abstract background. Please help. Thanks in advance.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Glad you’re liking Cubic!

    Cubic doesn’t support a custom header or a custom background image, to keep the emphasis on the images in the posts grid.

    With custom CSS you could concoct a workaround if you wanted – you’d need the WordPress.com Premium or Business plan to access that feature.
