Custom Header for Wordpress Theme

[seejaykay]

I am following a video series I purchased on KIllersites to design my own Wordpress theme. It worked great but he did not cover how to insert a custom designed header into a custom Wordpress theme. Can any one help as to the proper php markup as well as how to reference my custom header.

 

Thanks!!!

The header is just inserted with XHTML and CSS. There's no special trick. And usually, it goes in the header.php file. If you still need help, maybe you could post the code you have so far or a link to your page?

HI:

 

Here is the header.php markup I have so far. Where do I insert the markup for my custom designed header?

 

Thanks!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<?php wp_head(); ?>

 

 

 

 

<?php bloginfo('name');?>

<?php bloginfo('description');?>

 

 

 

 

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>

Well, I would put it here:

 

<?php bloginfo('name');?>

<?php bloginfo('description');?>

 

 

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=');?>

 

And then you'll have to do some CSS work on the blog name/description to either display them on top of your header image or to hide them behind it.
