  I’ve decided to buy the “CSS customisation”, because I want to enlarge the size of my header. But I have no idea how to do it, I’m really not good at working with the CSS. So I’m wondering if anyone can do it for me?

  I want the header to go from 940×198 to 940×450.

  I’m also wondering if there is any way to make the header into a link, so that it sends you to the front page.

  My blog url is: http://aliceheavey.wordpress.com/

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

  There’s no way to make the header image a link without replacing the blog title, which currently acts as a link to your blog’s main page. Here’s some code to replace the original image:

  #branding img {display:none;}
  #branding {background:url("URL") bottom center no-repeat; height:500px;}

  I tell a lie, this way will do what you want I think:

  #branding {position:relative;}
  #branding img {display:none;}
  #branding #site-title a {display:block; background:url("URL") bottom center no-repeat; height:500px; width:940px;}
  #site-title {margin-bottom:0;}
  #site-description {position:absolute; top:0; right:0;}

  Just noticed that when I put the code into the CSS the widget column disappears. Why is that?
