I’ve just changed the width of my theme to 900px and would now like to use a header that is 900px x 250px. Does anyone know the code to change all of the new header info? The header I now want to use (at the moment anyways) is http://ingoodlight.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/blogheadernyc.jpg

Thanks in advance!

It should the #header-image info that you’ll need to change. The properties aren’t defined so you’ll need to add them into the CSS; something like this should do it. Hope that helps.

```
#header-image a img {
border: 0;
height: 900px;
width: 250px;
	}
```

Whoops, sorry got the height and width the wrong way round! This one should be right. :)
```
#header-image a img {
border: 0;
height: 250px;
width: 900px;
	}
```

Thanks cjwriter! I’ve been trying to include the link to the image and it does seem to work. Here are the properties I am trying to use.

#header-image a img {
border: 0;
background-image: url(http://ingoodlight.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/blogheadernyc.jpg);
height: 250px;
width: 900px;
}

I think that’s all you have to do, so I’m not sure why it’s not working. I’ll take a look at the CSS again… this may seem like a silly question but you’ve definitely purchased the CSS upgrade? You can’t save edits to the theme without the upgrade and sometimes that’s the problem.

dmcsherry – the code you posted is for a background image, not a header image. Move the url to the appropriate place and you should be fine.
