Hi, I am very new to CSS and like many others, would like to upload a custom logo to our site. I’ve tried using the css codes for this written by others in the forums (even found one for the Pilcrow theme) , but can’t seem to make anything work. I’m not sure if I have the size of the logo incorrect, or what the issue is.

The site is ourcommunityfoodprojects.wordpress.com

A link to the logo is: http://ourcommunityfoodprojects.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/30413-ocfp-logo-1-640×195.jpg

Thank you in advance for patience and advice!

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

Are you trying to add that image above the main menu, or are you trying to replace the custom header image which was setup using the Appearance → Header page in your blog dashboard?

This will help if you’re trying to replace the existing header image that’s below the main menu:

If you want to add the image above the main menu, the CSS you tried adding already should work if you go to the Appearance → Header page in your blog dashboard and make sure the “Show header text with your image” option is checked.

You will probably also want to change the “#site-title” selector to “#site-title a” and add a few other properties such as display, width, and text-align. Here is a modified example to get you on the right track:
```
#site-title a {
	background: url('http://ourcommunityfoodprojects.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/30413-ocfp-logo-1-640x195.jpg') no-repeat;
	height:169px;
	width: 640px;
	display: block;
	text-align: left;
	text-indent: -9999px;
}
```
