Making a blog more attractive is important in getting more traffic to your website long term. A good custom logo at the top of your blog is one of the first things you should do for your blog’s design.

Below is only for the default wordpress theme. If your wordpress theme is something else, you can add a customized header image, you just will have to edit different code.

If you are using the default theme create a 750 X 100 Logo image. Now, go into your themes folder and then into the default folder. Inside that folder, open up the header.php file. First, before you edit anything make sure you save this file as header2.php, so if you screw up you can go back to the old copy easily.

Look for the code between these tags:

<div id=”headerimg”> … </div>

Erase all the code including the div tags. Next, instead put the image link to your uploaded custom image. If it’s the default theme you will need to enter the center tags to center the image.

Now your blog will look a lot better!
