  You can’t add anything to the HTML, but you may be able to work with what’s already there. Can you provide a link to your blog, starting with http:// ?

  It looks to me like you could set a background image in CSS, using a selector of #header.

  Do you mean I could go into the stylesheet
  where it says this? and change it?

  #header {
  margin-top:20px;
  margin-left:20px;
  margin-bottom:5px;

  More or less. You wouldn’t actually change the main stylesheet, you’d just edit the CSS specific to your site. The changes you make there will override the stylesheet. So, you would add something like
  #header { background-image: url("your-image-file-name-here") }

  There are more details available here in the CSS specification.
