  I made a banner for my blog, and am not sure how to put it up. Does anybody know how, or is adding a banner not possible?

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

  What kind of banner and where do you want to place it?

  It’s a .png and I would want it to go up at the top of the page[s]. I would also love it if you knew how to link it to the mainpage of the blog as well.

  It doesn’t appear the “Beach” theme has a customizable header.

  An Idea to consider is uploading your image into a “sticky” post.

  “Stick post to the front page” option.

  The banner would be for a different blog, at http://thesorcerorsjournal.wordpress.com/
  I didn’t want a banner for theblogofepic, I didn’t think that anything could make the appearence cooler (lol, but the Beach theme IS awesome).

  This is a listing of all themes that do allow for a custom header and the sizes required to upload them free of charge into themes designed to accept them, without purchasing a CSS upgrade and doing the work to create one.

  If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

  Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

  If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

  If you do purchase the upgrade be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/
