  I am using WordPress Zoren theme. I have a header image for my home page, but I want to apply a different header image for each page (listed across the top of the screen) How do I do this? At present I am stuck with the same header image regardless of where I am on the site – Robyn

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

  If your theme is not listed as one of the themes that have the featured images header feature then you will have to switch to one listed at the link below.

  Featured Header Images
  Note: This feature only works with themes that allow custom header images and have featured header images enabled. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/featured-image-header/

  Switching themes is easy to do and free of charge too. :)

  Here are the free themes with the featured header images feature https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/featured-image-header/?sort=free

  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

  The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.

  Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:
