  okay so i haven’t been to my site in a good six months.

  the last time i went on i put ‘someone kicked over my sandbox. rebuilding fortress.’
  under the header link and i can’t seem to get rid of it. its driving me nuts!
  do you know where i can change it?

  ANOTHER THING

  i’ve been trying to look at past discussions to change the header to an image.
  i keep putting

  various things into my css custom css box but nothing seems to change.

  #logo h1 a {
  background:url(‘http://anandagabo.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/img_0256.jpg’) no-repeat top center;
  display:block;
  text-indent:-9000px;
  width:500px;
  height:200px;
  }

  or this too

  #header {
  background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/wc_header.jpg”)
  no-repeat bottom center; }
  #headerimg {
  margin: 7px 9px 0;
  height: 192px;
  width: 740px; }

  this is driving me bananas.

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

  The “blog description” is under settings > general and is called the “tagline.” Change it there and then save the change.

  I’ll look at the header stuff in a moment.

  First off, this

  url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/wc_header.jpg")

  cannot be used here. Upload the image to your media library, get the URL and then use that.

  Secondly, I would create #branding in your CSS and then put the image in there rather than into the site-title a . You will have to declare widths and heights for #branding and whatever other styling declarations you need or desire.

  oh! that was just the sample i put in.
  i uploaded the image to my media library and then put the url in there.
  i then pasted it into the sheet, and pressed preview.
  nothing seemed to show up.

  ah. sorry to ask you at such a time, but do you have any links on how to/ explains briefly about branding. im guessing its pretty basic. but i can’t seem to find an explanation on google that i find helpful.

  #branding is the ID assigned to the parent div in the header area in the markup (XHTML).

  What is the URL of your desired header image?
