I have added several different headers, right sized and format. I am using Misty Look. They open fine in Safari and Firefox but not in Explorer. My blog is fairly new and not overloaded, I dont think. This is really annoying as one of the reasons for my blog is visibility of images.
Please help!!! Thanks, SB

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

I’d be happy to take a look at it with IE8. If I had a link.

The header image is missing with FF 3.0.8. I haven’t tried in IE yet. But you’re missing two apostrophes around the url. Try this. It’s adapted from the CSS I used to use with that theme and I kept your margin.
```
#headerimage {
	clear:both;
	background:#fff url('http://yourfilename.files.wordpress.com/yourstuff.jpg') no-repeat 0 0;
	color:#fff;
	height:200px;
	margin:10px;
}
```

Actually, use this instead.Why? Try them both and see what clear both does! :)

#headerimage {
	background:#fff url('http://yourstuff.files.wordpress.com/yourstuff.jpg') no-repeat 0 0;
	color:#fff;
	height:200px;
	margin:10px;
}

Except for the (now expected) lack of a header image, it looks fine in IE8.

Thanks, tess for translating!

why does the margin look different? I am a rank beginner at CSS so be specific please. I am to take out what is in there now for “header image” and replace it with one of these? Right? SB

I tried to replace it and it would not let me. Why?

It appears it will only let me add. Is that what I do?
