    Thank you for your thesis tutorial! I'm stuck like some others before and I'm sure it's just something small I overlooked (at least I hope that).
    I had the header first through a Sandbox page but that created some extra space I did not like and now using your CSS the header is gone completely.
    .custom #logo a {
    background-image: url(images/Blog_header1.jpg); /*replace logo.png with the name of your image*/
    width: 900px; /*change this to the width of your image*/
    height: 93px; /*change this to the height of your image*/
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    display: block;
    text-indent: -9999px;
    }
    Thank you for any advise you can give!

    Hello can you tell me how to find the width of my column.How did you found that?
  • Kelly
    Thanks for this tutorial! It was easy and it works great!

    Is there a simple line of code I could add to also remove visibility on the tag line if, for example, I've already included it in my header image.

    Thanks!!
  • Kelly
    Oops! Sorry! I didn't realize that you can remove the tagline from the header with a simple check box in Thesis options. No code needed!

    Thanks again for the great tutorial.
  • Thanks Fabi. The process worked for me on the first try.

    Great. How do you add the header before the nav bar in Thesis 1.6?

    Thank you for this video - I'm so happy I could do this myself and not pay someone to do such an easy upload of my banner to my new site! Can't wait to watch the rest of the videos on this site. Thanks again!

    Hi thanks for the video but still unable to get my logo to appear. I uploaded my header image into themes/thesis_151/custom/images directory and kept the same name header.gif.

    I'm using Thesis Openhook plugin from wordpress and making the change under Thesis Custom Styling Link. Here is the exact code I used. My header is 857X100.

    .custom #header {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    background: url(images/logo_fbd.jpg) no-repeat left top; /*replace header.gif with the name of your image*/

    }

    .custom #header #logo {
    text-indent: -9999px;
    }

    .custom #header #logo a {
    display: block;
    width: 857px; /*change this to the width of your image*/
    height: 100px; /*change this to the height of your image*/
    }
  • Weird. I looked at your site and it seems you have changed the CSS. It says
    that the image is *header.gif* instead of *logo_fbd.jpg*. How come?
  • karinolsens
    I tried both header and logo_fbd but neither are showing. Images are uploaded to the thesis_151/custom/images

    What should I do? Is there a setting that's preventing the logo from showing?

    Thanks
  • karinolsens
    thanks for taking the time to take screen shots. I actually made the change in the thesis options under header section. I checked the box "show site name in header" refreshed and it worked like magic. Thanks again! Love the videos!

    I do everything as shown, copy and paste the code into my custom.css file and reload it. I upload my banner, but it doesn't work...You didn't show the steps to get to the window that explains the measurements of the sidebars.
  • Ok, couple of things:
    1. What's the name of your image?
    2. In your reply to this comment, copy and paste the code you put in
    your custom.css so I can take a look at it.
    3. About showing the steps to get to the window that explains sidebar
    measurements... you lost me there, I have no idea what you mean. Can
    you ellaborate?

    header.gif

    .custom #header {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    background: url(images/header.gif) no-repeat left top; /*replace header.gif with the name of your image*/

    }

    .custom #header #logo {
    text-indent: -9999px;
    }

    .custom #header #logo a {
    display: block;
    width: 937px; /*change this to the width of your image*/
    height: 100px; /*change this to the height of your image*/
    }
  • Your header image is not in your images folder (thesis_151/custom/images). Go ahead and upload it and we'll take it from there. ;)
  • blackcad84
    I figured it out...Everything was good except the name of the custom folder which I DIDN'T rename. Thank you! Another question I had was regarding the posts. When you go to the website, can click the links for the blog - news&views, how do I get the full post to show like a normal blog, as opposed to just an exerpt, picture, etc...
  • blackcad84
    I'm doing work for giwayne.com
  • thank you thank you thank you! I have been working on trying to get a header onto a client's blog for nearly 3 hours, this has been so hard! You made it so simple .... I followed the directions on your video!
    THANK YOU!
  • Hey Beckie, I'm glad it helped. ;)
