As you can can see, I am still in the process of setting up my blog. Yesterday, I wrote about the basics of setting up a WordPress blog and picking out and setting up a theme. Yesterday, I added a simple logo to my header. I know, it is very simple, but much better than what was there before. Furthermore, it was free, and as you know I am trying to make money with this blog not spend money. How did you get a free logo? Well, I asked for it, I went to the freebie section of Digital Point forums and posted a thread and said I started a new blog and was wondering if anyone wanted to create a simple free logo for me. Sure enough, within 5 minutes I had several responses and a good looking simple logo. The next step is to get the logo on the blog. This is a lot easier than you may think. There are a lot of ways to go about this but if you are like me and want the easiest way, follow these steps.
- Go into you wp-admin and open your theme editor, then find and open the header.php
- Find this line of code ——> <h1><a href=”<?php echo get_option(‘home’); ?>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></a></h1> <p class=”Desc”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></p>
- Erase it
- FTP your new image to the image folder in your template folder
- Open Style.css
- Find the code —–> Header .LS { position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 30px; background: url(images/LogoIcon.png) no-repeat left top; width: 40px; height: 43px;}
- Replace “LogoIcon.png” with your logo name and then resize the width and height accordingly.
There you go, pretty easy, right.
Stay tuned, tomorrow I will write about which Plugins I am using and how to install them.


I want to create a custom WordPress theme, but I don’t have administrative access to the computer that I’m using, so I can’t install WordPress to test my theme. Is there another easy way to do it?

I would like to start a free WordPress blog on the WordPress site (not my own domain) but I don’t like the themes they provide. Can I use a downloaded theme on there?
