    Hello. I recently migrated my blog from Tumblr to WordPress, and today I decided to make a custom header image. The dashboard->appearence->Header page says the suggested dimensions for the Big Brother theme are 1000x200px. I created an image with exactly these dimensions, but when I try to use it, part of the text on the bottom is cropped! My blog was linked by a popular Facebook page an so is getting a lot of traffic, I want to make my blog beautifuler to my readers!

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

    The recommended size for a custom header image is 1000 × 200 and if you want any text to display then you need to create an image with the text on it first and then upload it at Appearance → Header

    My image has exactly 1000×200, and has only text on it, on a transparent background.

    Are you using a computer? I had that theme and when I viewed my image at the appropriate size it showed white over to the right of the image and didn’t follow the width of my page
    Try making the image 2x the recommended size (or change theme if it doesn’t suit your needs after resizing)

    Yes, PC.
    I don’t want to change the theme, I want it fixed. I liked the theme, only want to put a good header image on the page, because I don’t like the title of the blog being all upper case, I want to put an image with upper and lower cases. “Anders Bateva” in the place of “ANDERS BATEVA”.

    Good. Then all you need now is patience while waiting.

    I will be patient. I already used support forums and I know it’s far quicker and better than, for example, the Tumblr support.

    If you add your image as a logo rather than a header it will look the way you want it to.

    Let me know if you run into any trouble with that.

    Thanks, it’s working fine as logo.
    I didn’t know this feature existed.
    So the header image is the background of the logo?

    So the header image is the background of the logo?

    Each theme displays these two features differently. Some themes have one and not the other, so that’s not exactly how it works in all themes, but for Big Brother, that’s a good way to think about how they work together.

    This answer doesn’t work for me. I see nowhere in Big Brother theme to add a logo. Can someone show me that?

    My problem is that the head shows as expected as long as i don’t maximize my browser on a large monitor. If i maximize the browser the image becomes larger and parts of it are no longer visible.

    Please help!
