    Ahhhh…I understand now. Thank you for the help alchymyth! Now I just have to figure out how I can shorten my posts to small rectangles with a thumbnail and the excerpt.

    Shouldn’t I still be able to position it the way I want with both the rollover and rss divs nested inside the header? I believe the header would be only extending to the base of the rollover image if the rss icon was not there. I’m just confused because without resizing the rollover div to 100%, there should be plenty of space for the rss icon to fit next to it.

    Eureka! it worked! Thank you WPyogi!!!! Also thanks for reminding me with your code that one should comment the original code out, I had forgotten that, though I suspect I would have been reminded the hard way later on. Check out my site with the new mouse-over feature on the header!
    Resolved!

    One final detail I was wondering, is I decided to copy all the header.php code into my child-theme. Is this a sloppy practice? Would it be best to just add the commented out and new code?

    @wpyogi, the second image is the same, just using lighter (white) colored letters.

    Here is the code for the header.php in twenty-twelve theme:

    <?php
/**
 * The Header for our theme.
 *
 * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */

    @wpyogi, the image I want to add the roll-over effect to is the header images that says my name on the top left.

    @wpyogi, thanks for testing it out. I will try working on it some more tonight. However, as you mentioned, last night while looking through the header.php, lines 48-51, I was having a hard time trying to figure out how to implement the html with the php code that already controls the header. It will probably take me a lot of trial and error, so I’m hoping somebody will be able to share how to implement the roll-over html effect with the header.php.

    Apparently there may be a way to create the hover effect using css image sprites. I will have to look more into this to make sure, and it won’t help me learn how to edit the wordpress html/php.

    Glad you liked the painting, and thanks for looking into this with me danallenhouston. I found the file and looked at the code, but am still confused about where I should start editing and inserting the url’s for my header images…if I even have to do that. Unfortunately I’m not that familiar with php yet, so this may be a big challenge for me.

    I dropped the wordpress folder and installed directly into /wamp/www/mysite, and now I am getting the site but no css styling? Have any clue why this is?
