    How can I get the photo on the Home page to ONLY be on the home page? all the other pages look like the home page and I want them to each have their own main photo.

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

    Hi there,

    Currently, it isn’t possible to set a specific header for each page on your site. However, you can use the following CSS to remove the header image from any page that isn’t your home page:

    .page img {
	display: none;
}

    Just place that under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS in place of the text currently in that area.

    Also, if you would like the header images to rotate, you can set them up to “Randomize” on your Header setting here:

    That will rotate through the images you have uploaded to your header area.

    So glad you asked! I am wondering why so little fits on a page. If I include a picture and a link and a brief explanation, the picture does not show up when viewed, even though it is there in the edit page. Suggestions? I also want to put up a page of testimonials as a pdf…so I have to make a new page for that or can I somehow embed it on another page? And where do I make changes to the home page? Sorry…I’m new at this.
    Thanks for your help.

    Please see my answers below!

    If I include a picture and a link and a brief explanation, the picture does not show up when viewed, even though it is there in the edit page.

    Can you point me to the page or post where this is happening? I’ll be able to figure this out once I can take a look!

    I also want to put up a page of testimonials as a pdf…so I have to make a new page for that or can I somehow embed it on another page?

    There are a few ways of doing this. PDF files can’t be displayed directly on your blog at WordPress.com. However, you can upload a PDF to your blog by following the instructions here:

    Upload a Document

    In that case, the PDF would be displayed as a link that the user could click and download.

    Alternatively, you could display the testimonials within a new page following the instructions here:

    Create a page

    In my mind, that’s a better option as readers would not have to download a file to view the testimonials.

    Where do I make changes to the home page?

    Currently, your home page is set to display your most recent posts. If instead, you would like it to display static content, you can set a new front page via the instructions here:

    Set the Homepage

    Thanks again. I will look over all the options that you sent. The one with pictures is most perplexing. It may have to do with the fact that I have one photo on th eHome page, and want to have different photos on other pages. Obviously this isn’t exactly following the format of a typical blog… Anyway, the page is on ABOUT. I thought I uploaded a picture and it shows up on my edit page but not when I view it. http://cheltenhamacademics.wordpress.com/about/

    That’s my fault! The image not appearing is the result of the CSS code I gave you. My apologies. Can you try removing it for this bit of code?

    .page div#slider-wrap img {
	display: none;
}

    Let me know if that fixes the issue!
