  sorry, the blog is not visible to anyone else. i can’t seem to get a picture across the top of the page or insert a picture into my post. i had a blog on blogger a few years ago so i understand the idea but there seem to be so many acronyms that i don’t understand. i read the “zero to hero” and manage to sign up but that seems as far as i can get
  thanks for any help

  This blog isn’t private:

  http://sara603.wordpress.com/ and it seems to be going just fine.

  You can upload a custom header, provided your theme supports custom headers, by following these instructions:

  Please post the URL of the image you uploded. You can locate that here > Media Library

  What was the size of the image you uploaded as a header?
  What is the file extension of the image file?

  And try the Cookie Dance: you could just be looking at a cached, old version of your site.

  Read this again:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/custom-header-image/

  The file starts on your computer. You go to the Appearances->Custom Header page on your Dashboard and you click to Upload the file, find it on your computer, and then click Upload once it’s selected. Then you crop it to fit.
