  I purchased the “Custom Design” upgrade and widened the blog width and the left column.

  But I can’t figure out how to widen the header pic. There’s a sized upload of 760 by 190 px. Can I change this?

  I think the header now needs to be 820 px wide to fill the header space.

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

  Once you widen a theme, or change the height or width of a header, you can no longer use the header uploader since it will always size the image to the original size.

  Upload you image to your media library, get the URL of that image and then you put it into the appropriate place in the CSS, which with MistyLook is #headerimage.

  #headerimage {
  background: url("URL OF IMAGE HERE") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
  }
