Bryan,
thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for taking away my sleepless nights.
I just couldn’t figure out where did I go wrong. Using the default theme it was all #$%^&*.
If I known that not ALL template fits!
Also a HUGE thank you for helping me with my wordpress blog at the SMCC meeting in Brisbane!

Hi Kashonia
I am glad that you liked the presentation.

The question that you ask is tricky in some respects, as different wordpress templates will have varying solutions.

For instance, the template used for http://www.beatyourdepression.com/blog is quite simple to change. It has an option called “Custom Image Header”, which can be found next to the theme editior under “presentation”.

Within that you can “Here you can upload a custom header image to be shown at the top of your blog instead of the default one. On the next screen you will be able to crop the image.

Images of exactly 576 x 131 pixels will be used as-is.”

I believe that Kerri’s website http://www.organiclivinglifestyle.com has a similar easy way for changing the banner.

With the banner I used on this blog “bryanjamesstephens” I had to create the banner on fireworks, ftp it onto my server as a jpg file and then change some code in the theme editor. It is obviously a little more tricky.

Some themes may be even more difficult to change the banner. That is why I suggested that you pick a few themes so that hopefully one fits your style and practicality.

Cheers
Bryan

Hello Bryan,
Thanks for the PDF of your presentation. It was great.
One thing i really wanted to know more about was how to change the banner on a WP blog to my own banner. Like you have done above.
You just mention that it can be done on the last page without any real details.
For example, do i go to the theme folder and remove the current banner file? And that file is noprmally a php and yet I’ll be replacing it with a JPEG – will it recognise that?
Any help here would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Kashonia

As promised, the guide is now available in PDF format. The pictures are of better quality than those shown in the webinar presentation.
