How to add a picture to the home page of my blog (using Sight theme)

    Hi, I would like to add a picture to my blog instead of having the slider. I tried the static front page option but the blog looks ugly. How can I change the style.css such that I can have a picture on the home page of the blog?

    Thank you for helping.

    The theme description for the Sight theme is located here > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/ This is the live demo that applies to us at WordPress.com http://sightdemo.wordpress.com/

    From: Quick Specs (all measurements in pixels)
    The suggested header image dimensions are 580 by 150 (width, height). However, the height is flexible so you can upload a smaller cropped image if you wish.

    One possible way to insert an image using CSS would be to add it above the navigation. Here is some CSS you can try out as a test:

    .main-navigation {
	background: url(http://s.wordpress.org/about/images/wordpress-logo-notext-bg.png) repeat-x;
	padding-top: 145px;
}

    Adjust the url() to use your own image and adjust the top padding to match the height of the image.

    Hi, thank you for replying. I have managed to disable the slider and put in an image in place of the slider. However, my sidebar text widget is now on the picture itself, instead of under the picture (as it used to be, under the slider). Can anyone kindly help to fix that issue?

    Please provide a link to your WordPress.com site, and I will take a closer look.
