Need to expand header to accept 900px wide images
-
I am using Benevolence and want to expand my header to 900px instead of 700px wide. However when I load an image it forces me to crop to 700. How can I change this? http://ashleykphotography.wordpress.com/ Thanks for any info!

in the css – under the block for the heading (I don’t know what it is called in your script) you change width from whatever it is to 900px. But I assume that you then will have to change the content column too, so they align.
-
I’ve got a similar problem but the CSS block for the heading (I’m using Neat!) doesn’t have a line that gives the width – do I insert one manually and if so where should I put it?
-
If there are no indication of the width, neither in pixels, em or percent, just put in one. Basically anywhere within relevant curly brackets.
If it doesn’t work, I’d guess that the head and the main content column are either nested (one inside the other) or defined similarly – then you might have to expand the main column, if you see what I mean (I use neat! myself, but do all my playing with css elsewhere.)

I’ve added the width code (and changed the width to 880) but the image uploader is still only accepting images that are 700px or less. Any advice?

You can put the image for your header in the css-file.
along these lines:`background: url(imagenameandaddress.jpg);
-
You’re using the regular image uploader, right? Not the Custom Header uploader? Because the latter will not work with Custom CSS.
-
I can’t find the regular image uploader from my dashboard – I can only find the custom one.

Just go to Write as if you are writing a post. It’s there. Upload it as if you were going to put a picture in a post, but don’t make a post. Just copy the URL to put in the CSS code.
-
One last question. I’ve got the width of the posts to 650px but it still condenses any images to 450 px or less (and I’ve made sure that the images are ‘full size’).
-
When you insert images “Full Size” somebody decided that actually full size was not good, so they make your maximum size smaller. You can get around that.
When you put an image in a post, click to select it, then click the Image Icon, the tree. Delete the information under Class (the last line) and the contents of height and width boxes. That will make it actually full-sized. If you need to change it a bit, change the width and leave height blank and it will automatically change and keep the aspect ratio.
