Thanks Stefan….
Think I’m figuring it out. The more I mess with code the more I (with everybody’s help) figure out. Will keep ya’ll posted.
Stikguy

Stephan,
Thanks for the quick reply. Do I insert the Image URL where you indicate 3 dots?
stikguy

Thanks folks I’ll give it a shot and see how it works.

ajd777,
That’s exactly what I want to do. Where you say (image code here) is that the url of the image in the slot of the little browse thingy?
stikguy

Guys,
I just wanted to say this short bout of frustration…response…Wash rinse repeat. Made me laugh out loud.
I learned to type on an Underwood, (not many people even remember what one is) and emphathize with the poster….but the Heinlin quote…great!
At times understanding a techie answer to an analog brain like mine can be challenging but with patience, (from everyone) resolvable.
As another respected author said
” Go not to the Elves for advice, they will say both yes and no. For advice is a dangerous gift….
Even from the wise to the wise.
(now if I could just figure how to change the background on my kubrick theme)

Handy,
Thanks
DUH….well I’m only partly an idiot. I’ve got the animation to load, but it continually plays.(not what I want it to do). Also I’m getting some kind of degradation
in it as well….may have something to do with the transfer.
I suspect I need to make the thumbnail a link that will open a popup where the gif will play.I guess I’m looking for a video/flash/gif player plugin that will preserve the quality as well as play it in a popup when you click the image.
There’s about a million to pick from in the plugin section. Anybody have one they really like?
Just looking for a little guidance.
thanks,
Sitkguy

BTW….I use IE…..old school you know

stikguy

Thanks for the reply, but I’m not sure what you mean.
If you go to https://www.snakesonablog.com/….. and find a stickdeath, you can see what I want to do. He has a pic of the first frame of the animation in the post. Then when you click on the pic, the animation pops up in a new window, and plays. The animation is a gif file.
thanks,
stikguy

Yosemite…Goog,
Thanks a ton guys. I had to comment two lines of code out

<div id=”header”>
<div id=”headerimg”>
<!– <h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1> –>
<!–<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div> –>

one for the main title(name), and one for the (description.)

Worked perfect

Stikguy

Thanks for the suggestions folks. Just so’s ya know I’ve never done anything with code before. But, I’ll take a look at it.
stikNstein will try anything

Hedtheg,
I’m new to this and have been up against the same thing.
It seems I’ve been sending (and resending) the new header graphic file to the wrong place.
Instead of the ADMIN WP folder at my remote site, I sent it to the WP content…then to themes…then to default…
then to images.
That got it up on my site, but now the words on the old kubric header are showing through the new header.
Oh well next challenge will try to find out how to get rid of them.
stikguy

Yosemite,
Thanks for the reply. So I went back and realized I uploaded the image into the WP admin/images file at my remote host… wrong place to send it I guess.

So I sent it to the WP content folder…..then to themes….then to default….then to images

This brought it up on my site, but now the letters from the old header are showing through the new header.
Do I need to remove something I didn’t?

solotravels,
Dude, I’m having the same “challenge” what did you do?
It’s got to be simple….. for those of us that are simply stoopid.
