Before modifying any file I like to make a copy in case I do something stupid. This way you can just restore the original file and start over. Next create a graphic that is 93 px high and no more than 916 px wide. Name the image "header" and upload the image to the image folder in your SimpleWP theme folder. Next open your style.css file. I prefer to open it in cPanel but you can also open it under Editor in Appearance in your Wordpress dashboard. Find the line that reads #header{height:93px;width:916px;background:#FFF;color:#000;} Replace that line with #header{height:93px;width:916px;background:#FFF url(images/header.jpg) no-repeat;color:#000;} If you don't want your Blog Title and Tagline in your general settings to be displayed on top of your graphic you'll have to make some additional adjustments to your style.css file. Find the line that reads #header h1{margin:0px;font-size:30px;} and replace it with #header h1 { font-size: 0; text-indent: -1000px; } This will hide your Blog Title. To hide your Tagline, find the line that reads #header h2{margin:0px;font-size:14px;} and replace it with #header h2{display:none; margin:0px;font-size:14px;} You could use the negative indent used for the header but it will move your search box down a bit. NOTE: You will lose the "Looking for something" text over the search box using this method but I think everyone recognizes a search box. Hope this helps and yes it is a great theme.
