Customizing Sandbox
-
My blogs hosted on WordPress, and I’ve just purchased the right to change the CSS on my blog as I see fit. I want to add a header image in place of the test to the basic Sandbox theme. How would I go about doing that? I’ve seen lots of header posts here, but none have helped or provided a clear answer as how to do that.
Thanks!

#header { background: url('http://YOUR HEADER FILE'S URL HERE') no-repeat }the no-repeat makes it so it doesn’t tile.

Greets:
A search for sandbox header turns up this post as well:

Thanks Judy. Finally got something to show. Now, how do you get rid of the text header that WordPress supplies?
Very much appreicated.

do a forum search for that, if you don’t mind. I know there is a thread about it (with info from sunburntkamel). It’s almost 1:00am for me, and i need to go to bed :)

Use a left indent of 4999px to send it way out into left field. That way it is still indexed by search engines. Google for the CSS.

Just be careful with that as some see it as a spammer trick.
And it’s bitten a few people’s asses around here a time or two.

The word spammer is a highly perjorative term and one needs to be be very careful when employing it. Not that I expect much else from the mods here. But in these circumstances there is only a limited number of choices. Using display: none is even spammier. But if the OP wants to do it properly (and I am presuming from their experience level that they probably don’t) then they should use sIFR. Google would help. And it may have biiten peoples asses (charming expression) but how? And what pray is your alternative? Or do you just want to be a sniper all your life?

Of the two choices I would say that left indent is marginally less spammy than display:none. But who are we to judge or say really? :). Once we want fancy blog titles, particularly here at com, some type of workaround is inevitable.

At least I can spell the word *the*. And I was the person who actually answered the question.
