  Hello. My theme, Twenty Eleven, allows me to use random images for my header. I like that, but I want to choose the random images myself. In other words, I want to upload several of my own images and have the theme randomly select which of them to use (changing every time someone reloads the page). But the header page seems only to allow me to use Twenty Eleven’s default themes. Does anyone know how to fix that, or if it’s even possible?

  Thanks!

  How bout if I accidentally uploaded an image that I DON’T want included in the random rotation? I can’t find a way to get one of the pictures removed from the lineup in pilcrow.

  Go to your Media library and delete the image. If any image is not in the Media Library then it cannot be displayed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/

  As for the featured image & showcase style on a page, is it possible somehow to achieve over 288 pixels in height?

  The only way of changing what the Twenty Eleven theme specifies is to purchase an annually renewable custom design upgrade and do the CSS editing required. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
