  I was changing the image to look more like my website and lost the image; I am using the Benevolence theme that I have expanded the size on and using a custom header. Had this problem yesterday but decided to go and tweak, thought all i did was replace the image url. Thanks for your help

  #masthead {
  position:relative;
  top:0;
  background: url(‘http://peaceeout.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/blogmast2.jpg’) repeat-x scroll center 0;
  width:770px;
  height:225px;
  margin:0;
  }

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

  Looks fine to me; you probably had a momentary internet issue.

  I see you header image just fine, but it does take some time to load.

  At a 668k file size, it is larger than I would recommend. I would try to optimize it down to about 100k or smaller. I just optimized it down to 57k.

  I had a black box for a while and then the image appeared. As I said, 668k is a very large header file.

  I had a WHITE box for a while, and then it was there. Are you on dialup?

  Thanks, re-did it. Now why is it repeating?

  It was repeating because you had repeat-x in the background declaration, and because it wasn’t wide enough for the header area.
