  Hi,

  I’m trying to change two aspects of my blog (http://englishstudents.ch/) but I’m not familiar with CSS at all.
  1. I really like the Duster theme, but its header is just too big (1000×300). Is there a way to reduce the 300 height pixels but keep the 1000 width pixels so that I don’t have to crunch the image anymore?
  2. University made me add some awful stereotype pictures on each page (e.g. http://englishstudents.ch/about-us/). Is it possible to at least add these pictures to some sort of a column right to the text so that they are visible without one having to scroll down to the bottom of the page? Actually something like the menu bar on the first page, just without all the links below?

  Thanks for your help.

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

  1. Yes it’s possible. Do you have the paid CSS upgrade?

  2. See here:

  Check this too, for the default dimensions of header images:

  I don’t have the CSS upgrade yet, but I’d buy it if was the solution to my problems.

  But, basically, what you’re saying is that it would make more sense for my project to chose a different theme, e.g. Twenty Ten?
