    My file header.php currently looks like this………..

    /* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
    that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
    directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
    get cropped off of the image. */

    #headerimg { background: url(‘https://diningonthevine.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat top;}

    </style>

    This makes no change on my webpage though………….I have also named and placed the file personalheader in the image file located at wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/images

    any suggestions would be so helpful….thanks to all who have help so far

    I don’t know if you read my previous replies. I just took a look of your source code, your #header definition is still not changed.

    Which CSS file are you changing? You want to alter /wp-content/themes/default/style.css .

    When I try to load the image that you have specified in your #headerimg style, which is this img, I get a “file not found” 404 error. That’s at least part of the reason you’re not getting anything to display.
