    This thread is marked as “resolved” but I see you still have the stock image on this blog: http://emily44.wordpress.com/ . Here are some things to keep in mind when creating a header image for your wordpress.com blog.

    (1) You can find which themes support custom headers, and the maximum header sizes for the most popular themes here: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/08/which-themes-can-i-add-a-header-image-to/
    (2) Be sure your image is one of these file types – jpg, jpeg, png, gif (Note that bmp’s cannot be uploaded due to size).
    (3) If you are using iPhoto, then use the “export” function under the file menu to export the image to your desktop before trying to upload it to WordPress. There seems to be something iPhoto does to the jpg files that wordpress does not like unless you “export” them.
    (4) Do not use anything in the file name except letters and numbers. Use no spaces, no dashes, no underscores, or any type of special character or punctuation, except for the dot between the file name and the extension. Also make sure that the file name has an extension.
    (5) Optimize your images so that your blog pages will load faster. See http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/optimise-your-images/
