  I am trying to change the header image of the hemingway theme, and when I choose my picture, which I made myself with the exact dimensions you suggested (1280 x 416), the image doesn’t seem to fit in the area. It gets too big and we can only see half of it. I am not working from this blog URL though, I am working from the a go daddy account on the website http://www.jocelynhogue.com

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

  Hello charliemorency2,

  This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. Your question about a header for http://jocelynhogue.com is specifically for a self-hosted installation of WordPress. You will need to seek help in the appropriate WordPress.org forum.

  Hi,
  Since the site http://www.jocelynhogue.com is not a WordPress.com site, we can’t help you here. This forum is solely for issues regarding WordPress.com account and websites.

  If your question is in regards to a self-hosted WordPress.org website you may resubmit it at the WordPress.org Support Forums. Register to use the WP.org forums, here: https://wordpress.org/support/register.php, if you haven’t already done so.

  The Hemingway Rewritten theme is available for WordPress.com websites, whereas the self-hosted WP.org version is called Hemingway. I didn’t find the image dimension specs for the Hemingway theme, but in the Hemingway Rewritten theme guide, the dimensions you cite refer to featured images on single posts and pages. The Quick Specs section of the Hemingway Rewritten theme guide says, in part:

  Featured Images are 676 wide by unlimited height on Sticky posts, and 1280 by 416 as header images on single posts and pages.

  I want to have my own website name and not the default name – how do I do this. I’m a beginner with developing a website so what may seem easy to some is entirely challenging for me.
