  I would like to use my business logo – which is a perfectly square image – without cropping it, as my header image. I paid for the CSS upgrade, but haven’t figured out how to swap out the standard header image shape for my logo. Anyone know how to do this?

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

  Have you uploaded that image to your media library? If not, do so and then post the URL of that image so we can take a look at it.

  No the URL of the image location, not your admin area, as no one can see that but you.

  If you go to media library in your dashboard, find the image and then click on “show” then the URL for that image will show in a grey field toward the bottom.

  No, that is the place it is on your computer. You need to upload it to the media library and then get the URL of the image from your media library. We can’t access your computer.

  It’s labeled “File URL” on the media edit page.

  I see you’re using the Selecta theme right now. Where are you trying to place the logo exactly? If you replace the header image, there will be a big empty space on the right. Would you want to try to replace the site title with a logo instead? Or something similar?
