Why should you change your header images? Well, you want to have your unique header images that reflect your personality, right? If you wonder how I’ve changed my header images on this blog (using Cutline theme), I’ll tell you how. Actually it is pretty easy. You just have to follow the steps below:

First you have to have your images ready on your PC (personal computer). You may create your own if you are good at it. Alternatively you may find Header Templates doing all the jobs for you if you want your header images to look professional; or get some free header images from the Internet here

Second you have to login to your WordPress Dashboard, find out your header images dimensions by clicking on Design/Theme Editor/header.php

Scroll all the way down to find this line:
. The header dimension looks like width[970], height[140]

Once you know your header image’s dimension, you may have to customize your image(s) on your PC the same width and height as stated in your header.php file. I use a simple program – Microsoft Paint (which came with my PC) to do the job

Save your images as .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, or .png. The default image extension uses .jpg. If you are curious about these image extensions, visit GIF, JPG and PNG – What’s the difference? to learn more

Use FireFTP to upload your saved header image(s) to this folder: /word-content/themes/your_template/images; if you don’t have FireFTP, you can use any available FTP you have to do the job. Make sure you change your_template to be your real template name

The header image(s) you uploaded will replace the default ones. In my case I need to upload five different header images. You should give the same name(s) as your default one(s)
