    Hi Jeremy

    The header for your theme will be in a file named "header.php", this is the file you need to recreate or modify to change your themes header appearance.

    Hi Jeremy,

    There are wordpress themes that allow you to customize the header image without having to go into the css or template. Try doing a search for "custom header" when looking for themes.

      thanks affiliorama,

      I'll try that.

      I'm surprised no one has come up with a wordpress header plugin,
      so people can just upload their own header image

    Everyone here has given you great advise! Follow their lead!

    I've replaced most of my headers with my photos. I just need to make sure they are sized propertly.

      I did it!

      I just uploaded my image header into the images folder
      of the kubrick theme,

      then I went to the stylesheets section and replaced the image name
      with my image header name .jpg

      then scrolled down and made the height and width the same
      as my image headers height and width.

      very cool

        why is the kubrick theme all nofollowed,
        even the headline and categories

        need to find the nofollow tag and take it away
