hey L!
thanks so much for your reply - i did as you said (using filezilla) but now i'm a little stuck, because i changed the header photo to a different one and it's still the same photo as before!
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Clear your cache and try again
Do you have a link to your site we can have a look at so I can see what image is loading up etc.
You might have to pm me with some ftp details to sort this out fully if you are OK with that kind of thing?

hey l
sorry but i am really very untechincal so you might have to be a little patient with me:)
'Clear your cache' - what does this mean please?
'You might have to pm me with some ftp details' - ummmmm
but my site i can tell you! www.jessieandthegiantplate.com
:)
It looks like you have done just fine. There is now a picture of a giant plate with a little boy next to it. Is that what you were expecting ?
It depends on what browser you are using but the clear cache will be in the settings of your browser somewhere. When your browser visits a site is caches some of the images etc to make it faster to load in the future. What browser are you using ?
L
ahhhhhh! it's working in internet explorer but not mozilla!
ok it has downloaded, but now it's in the wrong place dammit!
L, do you know how i can get it over to the left next to the black box?
thank so much for your help my the way!

In FF hold ctrl && press f5 to hard refresh ;)

I haven't tested this in all browsers etc but try the following.
You can move it over to the left by simply opening up style.css in your skin folder and look for the following:
#header {
height: 292px;
background: url(images/img_header.jpg) no-repeat right top;
margin-right: 10px;
}
and replace it with:
#header {
height: 292px;
background-image: url(images/img_header.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 180px 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
I am no css expert though ;)
L
ahh, and is that via filezilla or elsewhere?
sorry for the stupid questions!
If you have a local copy on your computer of style.css then I would just edit that one and upload it to overwrite the one on your server.
wow l, you're a genius!!!!
thanks so so much - but i'm afraid i just have one more question (and this one's a bit fussy!)
at the moment there's a little gap between the bottom of the grass on my header picture and the dark grey line that borders the whole title box. what i'd really like is for the grass o be flush with the line:)
i know that i should change a px number to get that to move down (and i realise it'll need a bit of tweaking), but can you tell me which px number i need to change in the style.css file?
thanks again, you've been so helpful!
j
oh, and could it go slightly to the right as well?
thanks!
Try this... the background-position bit..
#header {
height: 292px;
background-image: url(images/img_header.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 180px 25px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
yeah!!!!!! awesome thanks!
and sorry to be fussy, but what should i change to move it ever so slightly to the right? sorry to be a pain!
edit the 180.... try 183 then just keep adjusting it till your happy with it
If you want it a little to the right change the 180px to something higher :)
thanks L! you've been so helpful!
Glad that is it working for you :)
Hi Jessie
It looks like the file you are looking for is in images/img_header.jpg within bodrum skin folder. All you need to do is make a backup of that file and then replace it with an image of your own. You will need to keep the same file name and probably make sure your image is the same size as the existing one.
