Enlarge header

would also like to remove the tiny dots around the navigation menu.

style.css line 523, change,
from

#page_list {
 background: url(images/background.png);
 height: 25px;
 padding: 3px 0 0 10px;
 list-style: none;
 margin: 0 auto;
}

to

#page_list {
 height: 25px;
 padding: 3px 0 0 10px;
 list-style: none;
 margin: 0 auto;
}

enlarge the header so that my whole logo is visible

Use the same stylesheet you’re calling the header background image:
line 47 change height to 180px (height of background image) and remove padding top and bottom.
from

#header {
height: 85px;
padding: 35px 0 40px 20px;
width: 986px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

to

#header {
height: 180px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 20px;
width: 986px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Hi
Thanks so much for helping – the dots were removed !
However the second bit doesn’t look like anything I have on my style sheet – I don’t seem to have a height section..
Here is what my header section on my style sheet looks like :

[ Moderator note: please wrap code snippets in the backtick character or use the code button. ]

/*	Headers */
h1 {
	margin: 0;
	}
.entry h1, .entry h2, .entry h3, .entry h4, .entry h5, .entry h6 {
	margin:0 0 10px 0;
	}
#title_box{
	padding: 10px 25px 5px;
	margin-left:7px;
	position:relative;
	float:left;
	}
.corner_bl, .corner_br, .corner_tr, .corner_tl{
	position:absolute;
	}
.corner_bl{
	background:url(images/kreis.png) 0px 10px;
	left:0;
	bottom:0;
	width:10px;
	height:10px;
	}
.corner_br{
	background:url(images/kreis.png) 10px 10px;
	right:0;
	bottom:0;
	width:10px;
	height:10px;
	}
.corner_tr{
	background:url(images/kreis_voll.png) 0px 0px;
	right:-7px;
	width:7px;
	height:7px;
	top:0px;}
.corner_tl{
	background:url(images/kreis_voll.png) 7px 0px;
	left:-7px;
	width:7px;
	height:7px;
	top:0px;
	}
h2 {
	margin-top: 10px;
	}
#sidebar h2 {
	margin-top: 5px;
	padding: 0;
	}
h3#comments {
	margin: 40px auto 10px ;
	}
h3#trackback {
	margin: 40px auto 10px ;
	}
#footer h2 {
	background:url(images/floral_kl.png) center bottom no-repeat;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
	position:relative;
	z-index:1;
	}
/* Headers */

P/S As you will have guessed I’m very new to coding so please bare with me – thanks for being so helpful !

How have you added the header image?

Simply by uploading it in the theme options

Okay could you add this code

#header {
height: 180px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 20px;
width: 986px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

To the bottom of your styles in the header.php file?

Doesn’t seem to make any difference ??

This is the file which holds the header styling
https://www.clonesnclowns.com/?css=css

I still can’t find out which file it is, what it is named.
So all I can recommend is this (re-post of above)

could you add this code

#header {
height: 180px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 20px;
width: 986px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

To the bottom of your styles in the header.php file?

And you would just place this at the very end of that page, would you ?
Thanks for your help, I’ll give it a go and class this as resolved if it works. If not, please can anyone else help ?

Thanks again

And you would just place this at the very end of that page, would you ?

I would put it at the end of the styles – e.g

/*	Headers */
h1 {
	margin: 0;
	}
.entry h1, .entry h2, .entry h3, .entry h4, .entry h5, .entry h6 {
	margin:0 0 10px 0;
	}
#title_box{
	padding: 10px 25px 5px;
	margin-left:7px;
	position:relative;
	float:left;
	}
.corner_bl, .corner_br, .corner_tr, .corner_tl{
	position:absolute;
	}
.corner_bl{
	background:url(images/kreis.png) 0px 10px;
	left:0;
	bottom:0;
	width:10px;
	height:10px;
	}
.corner_br{
	background:url(images/kreis.png) 10px 10px;
	right:0;
	bottom:0;
	width:10px;
	height:10px;
	}
.corner_tr{
	background:url(images/kreis_voll.png) 0px 0px;
	right:-7px;
	width:7px;
	height:7px;
	top:0px;}
.corner_tl{
	background:url(images/kreis_voll.png) 7px 0px;
	left:-7px;
	width:7px;
	height:7px;
	top:0px;
	}
h2 {
	margin-top: 10px;
	}
#sidebar h2 {
	margin-top: 5px;
	padding: 0;
	}
h3#comments {
	margin: 40px auto 10px ;
	}
h3#trackback {
	margin: 40px auto 10px ;
	}
#footer h2 {
	background:url(images/floral_kl.png) center bottom no-repeat;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
	position:relative;
	z-index:1;
	}

#header {
        height: 180px;
        padding: 0px 0 0px 20px;
        width: 986px;
        margin: 0 auto;
        }
/* Headers */

Thank you !

OK – nailed it !
