  I have installed the Motif theme since it looks the best for my blog style but I am trying to add colour to the simple layout.

  If I add a header, it sits above the Site name and Logo and is quite big.

  Instead of the site name and logo, I would like to add a header image, which is the same width and height as the amount of space the site name and logo takes, that sits right on the top menu. I am not sure how to achieve this though.

  I would appreciate, please, any help.

  Hmm, what happened to it. My new website is offline (maintenance mode) so nothing to see there. It is basically this: https://wordpress.com/themes/motif

  The header area is exactly the same, no header picture etc.

  Yes there is something to see. We require as URL up front so we can verify where every site is hosted. Then we provide answers. Otherwise threads become a run a round mess because about 30 % of who post here are posting to the wrong support forum.

  Let me cut to the chase please. :)

  There is no such thing as maintenance mode on any blogs hosted by wordpress.COM and this is the wordpress.COM support forum.

  We provide support only for sites hosted by wordpress.COM and that site is not one of them. We do not provide support for it here at WordPress.COM. You are posting to the wrong support forum for help with that site.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
