  I’ve been trying to upload my custom header image for a while now, and it doesn’t show up in either the custom header menu, or on my blog after I’ve uploaded, and it’s told me it will.

  It’s exactly 760×200 pixels, jpg forumat, 630kb (too large?), but when I go to look at it in the uploads section of my dashboard, it just appears as a broken image (the white box with a red ‘x’ in it).

  I’ve searhed the help/support for any answers on this but couldn’t come up with anything, any help would be appreciated

  Increase the compression when saving! Even when I save at 15% compression, the filesize is much smaller than that. Mine, which is PNG, is only 127KB. If I had saved it as JPG, it would be even smaller.
