Hi there

I would like to replace my site title with a custom header. However, when I add a custom header it appears as part of the site further down. So my questions are:

1) How do I remove my site title?

2) How do I move my custom banner to where the site title is currently?

3) An extra one… How do I remove the date from blog posts?

Many thanks in advance.

Quick note – I do have the custom design upgrade.

Cheers

Toby

I looked at your website address http://www.tobyelliott.com/ and I found that you are using this image in your header there: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kW2FgrXslxk/Tzl73SZFzcI/AAAAAAAAALQ/8Jj66Wh2MLA/s1600/Header5.png

You can replace the site title with that image using this CSS:
```
#logo h1 a {
display: block;
width: 960px;
height: 184px;
background: url(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kW2FgrXslxk/Tzl73SZFzcI/AAAAAAAAALQ/8Jj66Wh2MLA/s1600/Header5.png) no-repeat -20px;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
#header {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
```
Note that you can change out the image URL to something else if you’d like. If you do, you’ll also want to adjust the width and height settings.

I found that the Vodpod widget you added to your sidebar can be adjusted to fit better with something like this:
```
.vp-widget-single {
  width: 240px !important;
}
```

Hi designsimply

Thank you VERY much for the header answer – it is MUCH appreciated!

The vodpod widget doesn’t want to get smaller – any additional help with that?

Many thanks

Please try this instead:
```
div.vp-widget-single {
  width: 240px !important;
}
```
Let me know if it works.
