I have a question. How do I change the header in my blog. I would really love to change the header there to something made by me.
I don't know whether I am allowed to post my blog address here. But anyways here it comes www.webraman.com
Again if I am not supposed to post a link to my blog I am sorry. I am new here.

Well, my first question is.. do you have access to ftp where your blog is? It looks like it redirects to:

http://mycricketnetwork.com/wpwebraman/

If you are familiar with html, you can do it directly from your wp dashboard -> Presentation->Theme Editor->Header
or just go presentation->Header image and color.

Then yes, you have access to change the header and layout to whatever you want. Under your root directory for your blog you will see
: wp-content->themes->default (probably what you are using)

You can find out what theme you are using by looking in your wordpress administration and looking under presentation.

Under that directory you should see a header.php file. This is where you can change the header around. You will also most likely need access to style.css to change anything in there. Start with very small changes so you can learn your way around and test as you go!

It worked.....I just replaced the kubrickheader.jpg with my own.....what I have there is not what I intend to put there...was just experimenting...What I have there now is a template :o

ADD: I think I will put something better there in a few hours time. BTW we are really having a shortage of smilies here or are the smiley codes different here....
